Dedication
Dr. Thomas Henry Moray, of Salt Lake City, Utah, was probably the first to use Radiant Energy
as a source of power. His tireless effort, to gain recognition for this work, has been an inspiration
to me.
The original concepts presented by the late Dr. Thomas Henry Moray, of Salt Lake City,
between the years 1909 to 1974, have paved a road to our energy independence. He made
history by drawing the attention of the scientific community to certain discoveries of far-reaching
importance. His research involved the direct application of Radiant Energy, to the ultimate
electric particles of the atoms and molecules of the Universe. Dr. Moray's discoveries, when
demonstrated, convinced large numbers of scientific men who had witnessed them in action.
However, there were a few scientists in high places who prevented the commercial success of
this technology.
If these eminent men, the supposed leaders of the scientific community, had the privilege of
studying under Dr. Moray; they would have understood his discoveries and applauded them. But
in their ignorance of Radiant Energy, they refused to believe or even listen politely to the facts
that he often demonstrated.
One of his prototypes measured about 42 x 26 x 22 inches and weighed no more than sixty
pounds. It generated around four kilowatts of electrical power and was demonstrated in front of
scores of witnesses. Unfortunately, these few people, knowing nothing of the truth, have done
incalculable damage to Moray's discoveries over the years.
In its' widest form, Radiant Energy can be said to be the "Holy Grail of Free Energy." Those
who wish to study this exciting subject will do well to give serious attention to Dr. Moray's
original discoveries and to my recent research.
It should be as easy to accept the fact that a device can be built to receive radiation from its
surroundings as it is to accept a radio that receives broadcast waves. One device transforms radio
energy coming from a transmitter to sound while the other transposes electrical particles into
heat, light, or power. The fundamentals are the same in radio and in the Radiant Energy (R. E.)
device. The radio receiver receives transmitted energy waves out of the air; the R. E. device
receives energy waves from atomic ions and converts them into electricity. As in the reception of
radio waves, the Radiant Energy circuit is tuned to respond to the natural energy that is emitted
from certain intermolecular reactions.

adiant Energy is emitted as charged particles from all bodies at a constant rate. The
mystery surrounding it will unlock untold amounts of energy. Under the proper
conditions, it can be rendered susceptible to the most incomprehensible changes
caused by the oscillations, pulsation and surging throughout the Universe.
It was discovered by the Curie’s that all matter is radioactive. It can be shown that radium,
barium, uranium, thorium, polonium, vanadium, cerium, molybdenum, zinc, aluminum,
etc... will imprint radiographs on sensitive photographic paper.
The Sun’s explosions hurl intense surges of Radiant Energy at the Earth. The atmosphere
absorbs these particles, shielding all life on the planet from deadly harm. Electrical charge is
induced into the clouds that form in the lower atmosphere. This is due to the fact that
clouds are in constant motion and travel parallel to the highly charged upper atmosphere.
Once enough charge is built up in a cloud, it discharges to the ground as lightening. Static
charge is thus transformed into kinetic oscillations. The Earth’s magnetic field quivers in
response to these surgings. Is it too far fetched to reason that we can duplicate this natural
process to obtain electrical power?
If an oscillating tank circuit has the correct impedance, reactance and inductance it will
absorb energy from an external oscillating electrical source. Energy is captured. The tank
oscillations can be kept alive by establishing resonance with the external source. Therefore,
energy is not drawn from the transformer that powers the tank circuit. In the case of the
Radiant Energy Receiver, it becomes possible to harness the atomic electrons that are
generated within specially constructed energized plasma tubes.
What I have just revealed here is the "Holy Grail of Energy." The implications of this
discovery are far and wide. Is humankind ready for such a revelation? What will be explained
in the pages to follow is nothing more than a glorified radio receiver, one that is designed to
oscillate with the oscillations of the Universe. It locks onto the very wheelwork of nature.
This Radiant Energy receiver should last for many years with very little maintenance, no
more than for a good radio.

and can drive the world's machinery without the need of coal,
oil, gas, or any other of the common fuels."

Atmospheric Electricity
We have succeeded in penetrating many secrets of Nature. Because of this we have an obligation
to honor her abundant miracles with care and respect.
Since the time of Benjamin Franklin and his famous kite experiments not much has been learned
about the nature of atmospheric electricity and how to convert it into useful power. Certain people
have discussed this form of energy to some extent. Some theoretical papers in the so-called "free
energy" field have been written. Many of these theorists deny that our ionized atmosphere can be
utilized to produce usable amounts of electrical power. They are determined to cling to their wild
unproven theories.
Nevertheless, I have taken it upon myself to find a solution to converting ionized particles into
useful electrical currents. The properties of radioactive matter have shown me that large quantities
of energy can be collected and converted. I have found that with the right circuits and components,
rivers of high-voltage static electricity can be efficiently transformed into a lower practical voltage.
It is my desire to be able to furnish irrefutable proof of this process, in this new millennium.
However, there are still more questions that need to be answered. The utilization of the atmospheric
electricity on completely new ground has to first take place.
The production and utilization of atmospheric electricity for the well being of humankind has been
the goal of scholars and researchers for countless years now. However, the implementation of a
real working device has remained a pious desire until today. This is because well-intentioned
researchers turn away from the simple fact that there is free electricity in the atmospheric air just
waiting to power our appliances. Only in the last year have I realized through new experiences and
investigations that atmospheric electricity may be drawn into an electronic device in usable
quantities to be converted into useful power.
Many researchers after investigating atmospheric electricity become astonished when they realize
that there is nothing new in the World. They find out that the features of atmospheric electricity
have been with us for a very long time, before the knowledge of electricity. The wisdom of the
effects and utilization of atmospheric electricity dates back many thousands of years, as we can
infer from the biblical texts. We read in the first book of Moses, that the all-holiest temple of
Jehovah housed the Ark of the Covenant. With the exception of the high priests, this Ark would kill
anyone getting to close to it. Furthermore, we read that 40 priests dared to approach the Ark, in the
absence of Moses and Aaron. Lightning issued out from it, killing all 40 priests.
It is written in the second book of Moses, Chapter 25 verses 10-11:
10. Frame an ark of acacia-wood; the length whereof shall be of two cubits and a half (45 inches):
the width, a cubit and a half (27 inches): the height, likewise a cubit and a half.
11. And thou shall overlay it with the purest gold within and without (exactly like a capacitor).
1
The biblical text sited here indicates that the Ark was made out of a noble wood that acted as a
good electrical insulator and that gold was to be laid inside and out. Thereby, all conditions were
just right for creating a good electrical capacitor. From the description we can tell that Moses and
Aaron knew how to collect electrostatic energy from the atmosphere. This Ark of the Covenant
could only have been a very large capacitor with a huge capacity. It was charged by atmospheric
electricity from the accounts given. The fact that it remained fully charged with this electricity
must be attributed to the dry climate in Palestine. Knowledge of this energy was a coveted secret
kept by Moses and the high priests of Egypt. They were the first connoisseurs of atmospheric
electricity.
When the study of meteorology first began there was a big interest in atmospheric electricity. Many
in this field thought to use it. This is revealed through the patents of the time. The first relevant
patent was granted to inventor Dr. Heinrich Rudolph of St. Goarshausen according to the German
Patent Office; D.R.P. No. 98180 January 19, 1897.
Benjamin Franklin in America made a few attempts to utilize atmospheric electricity. He once built
a motor that implied a commercially significant amount of energy might be derived from the Earth's
atmosphere. It has been observed that a potential gradient of 150 volts per meter of height is
always available on average.
There are three major causes of atmospheric ionization shown in Figure 2. The first one is due to
the cosmic rays and the second cause is due to the solar winds. The solar winds consist of 96%
protons and the remaining percentage is atoms of tritium. There are other particles but they are
relatively unimportant. Almost all of these high-energy particles are absorbed by the Earth's upper
atmosphere causing it to become ionized. This is how the ionosphere is created. However, the area
where the reaction between the solar wind and the magnetosphere takes place is far outside of the
Earth's atmosphere. The charged solar wind particles rattle our planet's magnetic cage long before
its gas envelope neutralizes them. The third cause of atmospheric ionization is due to the content of
radioactive gasses contained in the air we breathe. In the ground radioactive substances such as
radium, thorium and actinium are spread throughout the soil. These elements generate gaseous
radioactive emanations that spread in the air and ionize its molecules. The actinium-emanation
generated from the decay of U235 plays a major role because of its brief radioactive half-life of 3.9
seconds.
Radio Ionics
There are not enough charged ions in the air to be converted into electrical power. This on the
surface appears to be a correct calculation and assumption. There simply are not enough of them.
However, what has been overlooked is the fact that these ions are in a state of constant surging
motion. This is the mechanism to obtain power from this sea of energy! It is not the charge that
should be looked at. These ions are in motion like magnets are in motion in a generator. Can you
see the correlation here? It is the motion of the ions that induce electrical current. By means of
properly tuned radio ionic circuit rests a possible solution to harnessing this source of energy.
Hermann Plauson was successful in converting atmospheric energy into useful electrical currents.
He was granted a patent titled "Conversion of Atmospheric Electric Energy" – U.S. Patent No.
1,540,998. In this patent he states that "St. Elmo's fire and the northern lights can be more or less
absorbed in the same way as a receiver in wireless telegraphy absorbs waves coming from a far
distance." This patent has been added to the end of this book for your study. It begins on page 59.

The Wireless Telegraphic
Connection
Radio in the early years was called "wireless telegraphy." Beginning around the year 1913,
amateur wireless telegraph stations were set up in trees and housetops. Aerials and masts dotted
the countryside. It is estimated that there was almost "a quarter of a million stations." They were
used to send and receive wireless telegraph signals, not voice. Vacuum tubes were not yet widely
known. These stations had to rely on spark gaps.
It was the energy spikes, or surges put out by the spark-gap transmitters that first caught T. H.
Moray’s attention back in 1903. In 1909 Moray devised a circuit that would draw electricity from
these surges of energy that traveled through the ground. By the fall of 1910 he obtained enough
electrical energy from the ground to power a miniature arc lamp. During the Christmas holidays of
1911 he was able to power an old type 16-candle carbon arc lamp at about half of its brightness.
In 1912 while Henry Moray was on mission with the Mormon Church in Uppsala, Sweden, his
passion for crystal radios got him started in his research in the science of radiant energy. Every
spare moment he searched for a mineral that could possibly work as a radio detector. Moray had
found two specimens that worked well as radio detectors. The material found in the hillside could
have very well been a type of argenti-zinciferrous-galena. This type of galena is highly sensitive
to radio waves that allowed his receiver to function without a battery. I make this assumption
because a galena type synthetic formula can be found in Moray’s Electrotherapeutic Apparatus –
U.S. Patent No. 2,460,707. This material using only the power transmitted from a local wireless
station could drive a small horn speaker as reported by Moray.
The other detector material was a white, powdery, stone-like material that he found in a railway
car, located in Abisko, Sweden. From military records we know for certain that this white material
was "fused silica." Silica is the chemical name for the simple oxide of silicon, silicon dioxide
(SiO4). Mineralogists call this compound quartz. This is normally found in nature in its crystalline
form. Finding this mineral in a fused state can only mean one thing. That, what Moray found was
metamict quartz. A metamict is a crystalline mineral that loses its crystal structure due to
radioactive destruction. For this to occur the quartz had to have contained trace amounts of
uranium and/or thorium, which is why it was found in a "fused" state, in a more or less amorphous
state, the so-called metamict state, owing to radiation damage from α-decay of these impurities.
"Over the course of hundreds of millions of years, α-decay doses as high as 1019 decays/g can
occur, which may lead to the complete amorphization"(1) of the quartz structure.
Moray's rare mineral find became known as the "Swedish stone." He was able to light a standard
100-watt General Electric light bulb in June of 1925 with this Swedish stone. By August 1925 he
was able power an electric flat iron along with the 100-watt bulb. Therefore, bringing the total
power consumed to 655 watts. People would quite often demand that he would draw too much
power from his device and the white, stone-like material would overheat and burn up.
3
A problem of drawing power from telegraph stations appeared when the Federal Radio
Commission on Nov. 11, 1928 limited the amount that could be transmitted. The transmitted
frequency also had to be well defined. Spark-gap transmitters simply could not meet these
requirements. Scores of spark gap driven telegraph stations had to be dismantled and in effect had
been given death sentences. This spelled disaster for Moray. He could still draw energy from the
background radio noise produced by the great cosmos but the amount of power that he could
obtain was severely limited. Originally, Moray’s source of power was drawn from the local spark
gap radio transmitting stations through the ground. Moray could draw power from the radio
frequencies generated by nature but unfortunately only very low power could be had from this
source. This forced Moray to develop a more favorable detector material. It was not too long
before he got the inspiration to add radioactive dopants to his Swedish stone material and to other
types of semiconductive materials. This occurred shortly after the Radio Allocation Act of 1928
when Moray's detectors were no longer able to receive steady incoming power. His Radiant Energy
receiver could produce power but it only came in regular pulses. It was not constant without the
added radioactive material. The addition of radioactive dopants to semiconductors allowed his
receiver to produce a steady flow of energy.
Radiant Energy Early Definition
Professor Langley showed that out of the total amount of radiation coming from the Sun, only the
visible portion of the spectrum represents only 19%. He presented the theory that there is only one
kind of energy radiated from sunlight. That, heat, and chemical effects depend entirely upon the
state or condition which radiant energy may happen to fall on matter.
Professor Langley wrote that up until 1872 it was almost universally believed that there were three
different kinds of entities–actinic, luminous, and thermal, represented in the spectrum. There is
only one radiant energy that appears to us as 'actinic,' or 'luminous,' or 'thermal' radiation,
according to the way we observe it. Heat and light, therefore, can not be things in themselves, but
separate sensations to our bodily sensors. They are merely effects of this mysterious thing called
"radiant energy."
The Italian physicist Melloni stated that, "light is merely a series of caloric indications sensible to
the organs of sight, or vice versa, the radiation of obscure heat are veritable invisible radiation of
light." Melloni wrote this in 1843, but it was not adopted until Langley by his elaborate researches,
more refined and complex, proved it. The great physicists of society then adopted the doctrine of
one radiant energy.
Only a few researchers know the immediate effect of radiant energy: electromagnetic. The results
of two centuries of observation all point to this conclusion. When a mighty tongue of white-hot
matter darts across the abyss of a large spot or cavern on the Sun, the equilibrium of the Earth's
magnetic field is disturbed and the effect is a magnetic storm. The needles of magnetographs
throughout the world quiver and oscillate. The vibrations take place on opposite sides of our
planet, the impulse passes from the Sun to the side nearest of the Earth and then to the most distant
side, whether through or around the Planet's surface.
After centuries of investigation from Gilbert to Tesla, this most wonderful research still holds
admiration and mystery for all that study this vast science; electrodynamics. Power is cut out of the
seemingly emptiness of space, and the hurrying waves are caught and chained to servitude in
artificial light and electric appliances. The Sun, being electromagnetic, emits waves that carry
4
power, which beat and surge against the Earth. A magnetic field is space that surrounds a magnet.
This space might be filled with air, wood, stone, glass, or might be a vacuum. But the waves are
not quenched. They flow through all of these things. A freely suspended magnet in a magnetic field
will move, and the Earth's surface is surrounded by a magnetic field, that is acted upon by the
Sun's magnetic field. Suspend a sewing needle by a silk fiber in the Earth's magnetic field and it
will come to rest parallel to the field's north and south poles. Now, if this field becomes disturbed,
that is; if it becomes stronger or weaker, the needle will move. This is a magnetic storm. When a
gas jet is hurled across a spot on the Sun the disturbance reaches the Earth in the same time that
light does. So, radiance traveling at 186,000 miles per second is reaching the Earth in eight minutes
and nineteen seconds.
The most memorable magnetic storm occurred on November 17, 1882. This was one of the most
violent recorded. The daily press was burdened with accounts of widespread magnetic disturbance.
In some places telegraphic communication was suspended. The turbulence filled that great
quadrilateral from New York to Yankton, Nashville and Winnipeg. In Milwaukee, the carbons in
the electric lamps were lighted, rendered incandescent by currents of electricity flowing on the
wires. At other locations, switchboards in telegraph offices were set on fire and sending keys were
melted, while electric balls were seen hovering on the telegraph lines in Nebraska.
The Earth's aurora holds the key to harnessing the Sun's daily pulsation. An aurora is the visible
effect of obscure undulations from the Sun, as they come dashing on the Earth with a speed of
186,000 miles per second. In a six-month winter, say at the North Pole of the Earth, the Sun is far
south of the equator, and none of its rays can shine on the Earth's northern pole. However, the
aurora is very bright. It displays many colors, and these flash and glow with rapid variations. The
light, although caused by the Sun, does not come direct. It is caused by the turbulence set up in the
Earth's magnetic field by electromagnetic upheaval on the Sun. The field of the Earth is "tuned"
with the Sun's field, as was the coherer in the days of wireless telegraphy and telephony. The
aurora is known to be electrical, for magnets and compass needles on ships are always affected.
Could the coherer of the days of old teach us something new?
No magnet can be placed near a "current" of electricity, or a static charge without making an
oscillation. Every oscillation sends out a wave, like a stone falling in water. An electromagnetic
wave from the Sun disturbs the Earth's magnetic field in the same way that an induction coil used
in wireless telegraphy does. The Earth and coherer are both doing the same thing with the same
kind of electromagnetic waves. The coherer in a distant receiving station will react to natural
electromagnetic wave fronts from the Sun. It will likewise react to the artificial wave fronts coming
from the induction coil. The electromagnetic wave makes the loose particles of metal between the
knobs in the glass tube coherer generate dots and dashes.
Making a device "oscillate with the oscillations of the Universe" may not be too far off the mark in
obtaining energy. Perhaps a radon-powered diode (ion valve) will act as a one way gate to this
energy? This type of specialized diode offers zero resistance to electrical current. It is also an ion
gate that can function in the million-volt range. Today's state of the art high voltage diodes will not
meet our requirement. This is because as more are added in series the greater the electrical
resistance becomes. I believe that Moray's Swedish stone met our requirements utilizing only a
trace amount of radon generating material.
Moray found that semiconductive materials doped with radioactive impurities have an increased
sensitivity. One such satisfactory formula included a triboluminescent zinc mixture consisting of
5
pure zinc sulfide, radioactive impurities and pure germanium metal. He also found that "artificial
radiation" could be used in place of the radioactive impurities. For example, by exposing bismuth
to wavelengths of energy emitted from one of his unique vacuum tubes, he was able to create
"active bismuth," today known as Polonium–210. This is what Moray called "artificial radiation."
When added to the zinc sulfide, it would glow a bluish-green. When this glowing material was then
doped into ultra-pure germanium it made an excellent emitter of secondary electrons. This synthetic
substance was called "fission material" by Moray. This transistor type material is said to be
superior even to what is available today.
"The Moray germanium mixture gives certain unique results in functioning as in a valve and or
booster (amplifier). Made in form of rounded stones or pellets compressed under high pressure and
fused. Combination contains radium chloride, thorium, uranium, and pure germanium metaltriboluminescent zinc. Some pellets fastened to envelop with pure tin in place of solder. Bismuth
pellets fused to side. Germanium mixture pellets float between other pellets but making firm,
needlepoint-like contact. Have used silicon too, which has some of the properties of germanium.
Germanium works best when impurities are introduced. Care must be taken when alloyed with
other substances, as too much other mixture added worsens conductivity and germanium loses its
properties." * T.H. Moray, 5th edition, The Sea of Energy in Which the Earth Floats (1978), p. 71.
I had often asked myself: what ever became of Moray’s radiant energy tubes? Wouldn’t it be nice
to run some tests on them? These questions have been put to rest because these very tubes are now
in my possession. It was communicated to me that the widow of T. H. Moray gave these tubes and
his notebook to a man named Stan Mahurin. This man knew Moray and his wife quite well.
Mr. Mahurin passed the tubes onto a close friend because he had no clue as to their function but
insisted on keeping the notebook. The next owner of the tubes had no clue either. These tubes
remained in storage for over twenty-five years. I was contacted because of my passion for Radiant
Energy research and was given the opportunity to purchase them. I promptly replied and have had
the honor to inspect them first hand. Upon inspection of these tubes there does not appear to be any
radioactive material in them. However, this does not mean that it was never in the tubes. Moray
stated that he was using what he called "artificial radiation." From his notes we know that he
created this artificial radioactive material by attracting radon gas to a metal by giving it a negative
charge. We also know that radon decays to lead-210, a beta emitter with a half-life of around 22
years. This would mean that Moray's source of induced radioactive material would eventually burn
itself out. This would explain why Moray did not have a running prototype in his later years.
My own research is now nearly complete. My next project is to build a radiant energy generator
that will demonstrate a few hundred watts of excess power above what the circuits require to be
self-sustaining. The final step will be for me to develop a commercial unit for general use. Through
this millennium edition of my book, the shroud of mystery surrounding this old source of energy
may now be lifted.

Moray’s Circuitry
Early Radiant Energy Circuit - Figure 1
It is assumed that the average reader of this publication is familiar with the elementary principles
of radio transmission. Granting this, it is of course reasonable to believe that such readers will
understand how an oscillating current is set up in a circuit comprising an inductance or coil of
wire, a capacitor and a spark gap. The capacitor is charged with a high tension current from any
convenient source such as a transformer or induction coil. When the potential stored in the
capacitor reaches a critical value, the air in the gap between the spark gap electrodes can no longer
stand the strain. The capacitor discharges across the gap in a succession of crashing sparks. As the
current from the capacitor crosses the gap in one direction, it literally over-reaches itself just as a
pendulum will swing past the neutral point when given a push by hand. After the first rush of
current passes in one direction, a reversal of the cycle occurs and a second rush in the opposite
direction occurs. This operation is repeated many thousands of times per second. The discharge
gradually dies down as all the energy is either completely radiated or used up in heat or performing
work. The oscillations cease once the potential across the capacitor has been lowered so that the
spark can no longer jump the air gap. The capacitor immediately takes a fresh charge from the
7
transformer and the entire cycle of operations is repeated. It will be understood that all of this
passes in an infinitesimal fraction of a second. The charge and discharge of the capacitor takes
place so rapidly that the observer can detect no change in the solid spark that appears continuously
to fill the gap. It should also be understood that if the oscillating tank circuit has the correct
impedance, reactance and inductance, it would absorb energy from an external oscillating electrical
source. Energy is therefore captured. The tank oscillations can be kept alive by establishing
resonance with the external source. In the case of Moray's early radiant energy receiver, the
capacitor was charged through a material that acted like a high voltage diode. This material he
called "Swedish stone." Electrons (electricity) were actually generated in the discharge tubes and
fed back to the antenna and ground circuitry. This mode of energy generation is explained in more
detail on pages 37 to 38.
What has been explained here is the Holy Grail of energy. The implications of this discovery are
far and wide. Is humankind ready for such a revolutionary design? This receiver locks onto the
very wheelwork of Nature. This device should last for many years with very little maintenance, no
more than for a good radio.
SOME FACTS TO THINK ABOUT
1. Cosmic particles are hurled at the Earth from
outer space.
2. The Sun emits ionized protons and tritium
atoms that are carried to the Earth by the solar
winds 24 hours each and every day.
3. The Earth's upper atmosphere absorbs the
charge carried by the particles in the solar
winds causing it to become ionized.
4. The Earth's ionized atmospheric region is
called the "ionosphere." It is sort of a half gas
and half plasma.
5. Water vapor (clouds) become charged by
induction as they travel parallel to the
ionosphere.
Sources of Radiant Energy - Figure 2
6. When clouds become sufficiently charged they will discharge according to Pupin’s theory of
capacitive discharge. The energy is released in the form of light and electrical oscillations.
7. There is a cloud discharge about one hundred times each second that is randomly located
somewhere on the planet, generating a tremendous amount of oscillating electrical energy. The
total energy per discharge is approximately "two million-million watts." Now multiply this by
one hundred and you have an unbelievable amount of unleashed energy.
8. The facts presented are Nature’s process of generating oscillating electrical energy.

Moray’s Radiant Energy Detector Tube
T.H. Moray invented a very unique vacuum tube. He called this discovery, the "Moray-valve." It
functioned as a high-voltage, high frequency, minute capacitance detector tube. It included solidstate semiconductors mounted "under ideal conditions."
This Radiant Energy valve contained Moray’s fission material. It replaced the original Swedish
Stone. It’s anode acted as a collector made with a molybdenum disulfide rod. The metal case
served as a parabolic reflector to concentrate and focus the secondary ions that were expelled from
the fission material.
Radiant Energy in Moray's detector comes to us in waves of separate and distinct units called
photons. There are definite relationships between the energies of these particles and the zinc sulfide
(triboluminescent zinc) germanium mixture, contained in Moray’s fission material. The zinc sulfide
in the mixture is highly sensitive to the photons generated from the fission material. The sulfide
transforms the high frequency photons into lower frequency photons. These photons then impinge
upon the germanium. The germanium being sensitive to these lower frequency photons emit
secondary photo ions. The hemisphere that contains the active materials was filled with a lowpressure water vapor and was comparatively simple in construction.
Thomas H. Moray successfully demonstrated an electrical device, weighing less than sixty pounds,
that extracted enormous amounts of energy: 4,000 watts. This unconventional source of energy is
abundant day or night throughout the year. To understand how this device generates energy, you
must carefully read the material contained in this book. I have compiled this information to assist
you in understanding radiant energy power generation without giving away the entire contents of
my discoveries.
On the introduction page in the "The Sea of Energy in Which the Earth Floats," 4th edition, Moray
explains that radiant energy is kinetic in nature. It is rendered sensible by conversion of its energy.
He states that "this is the phenomenon of the transducer fueled by a fission reaction. In the final
analysis, radiant energy is a means of using the energy released by the fissionable reactions taking
place in the stellar crucibles of the universe." Moray in his 2nd edition, on page 61, describes the
"universe" as being both stellar and atomic. The final clue to the inter-most secret of Moray’s
energy device can be found on page 33 in this same edition; "It is an accepted fact that when
various substances are bombarded with alpha particles they are found to give off electrons." How
much clearer could he have made this? He further states; "just as sodium, potassium, cesium,
rubidium, barium and strontium react to visible light or wavelengths within a certain range, might
not certain other substances react to oscillations from the Cosmos or artificially produced
radiation?" Moray’s fission material clearly fits this description. How could we not know from
this description how Moray’s "detector" functioned? He also states; "the universe is analogous to a
radio transmitting station. It is continually emitting energy, only of a greater range of
wavelengths." Is it this type of statement that has confused people seeking answers? I say that this
is a certainty.
What is revealed within this publication should clear a path to the understanding of Moray’s
radiant energy device for the reader. It will be understood that ionic recombination can be directed
to produce intense surges of electromagnetic energy. More clearly, ionic energy is converted into
electromagnetic energy. The conversion from ionic to electromagnetic energy can then be
transformed into useful electrical power by conventional radio circuitry.

Electronics vs. Ionics
The Earth’s electric field that exists between the surface and the ionosphere is charged to about
360,000 volts. It is estimated that the stored energy ranges from about one million to a billion
kilowatts. This field provides a low current at high voltage and will not power today’s appliances
because they use high current, low voltage electromagnetic power. In 1748, Benjamin Franklin was
the first to invent an electrostatic motor that could run on the earth’s energy field. Did this scientist
of yesteryear point us in the right direction?
At the Paris Electrical Exhibition of 1881, Professor Amos Dolbear successfully demonstrated his
electrostatic transducer for the telephone. He obtained US Patents No. 239,742 and No. 240,578
for this invention.
Thomas Edison’s 1880 discovery of thermionic emission, the current of electron flow in a vacuum
tube, created the first electronic device. Sir William H. Preece called this the "Edison Effect."
Edison had discovered the fundamentals of the electron tube and was granted US Patent No.307,
031. Its’ basic principle was to be used in radio communication for many years to follow.
In 1887 Dolbear was forced to go to court against Alexander Graham Bell to establish that he was
the inventor of the telephone. Dolbear lost this infringement case. The judge consequently ruled
that Bell was the inventor of the telephone. This decision was the pivotal point of our electrical
development. Because of this one decision by a court, inventors moved in the direction of
electromagnetic driven components.
Conventional radio tubes to this day are based on electron emission. Electron flow through a
vacuum tube is where we get the word "electronic." If science had gone the way of ionic emission
instead of electron emission in radio tubes I believe that our technology would be drastically
different today.
I have designed radio tubes that carry an ion current instead of electrons. Vacuum tubes that carry
electrons are called "electron valves." My tubes carry ions and therefore are called "ion valves."
This changes everything about inductance and capacitance in any circuitry. Capacitance then
becomes the real key element in electron transfer through associated wires and circuitry. It may be
of interest to you that "ohm’s law" only applies to conventional electron tubes. In a conventional
electron tube the mean velocity of an electron is about 1 cm per second. In my ion tube charge
transfer is much faster. When using an ion tube as a rectifier or oscillator this changes the whole
mathematical equation on the electrodynamics of the associated electrical circuits.
I believe that T. H. Moray's tube oscillators were actually ion valves. This is what allowed them to
run cold. This is the Holy Grail of energy that can be used to tap into the sea of energy that is all
around us. We are bathed in this sea of ions at all times. This is not just a wild dream. The circuits
given in this publication are proof positive that a new technology is just on the horizon.
With the release of this publication, there can now be no doubt that we are at the dawn of a revived
energy revolution. I have given a great gift to science. All I ask for in return is that you shout from
your rooftops the information gleaned and to please give me the credit for what I have earned.

Early Demonstrations
What follows are accounts given by observers of the T. H. Moray radiant energy device that utilizes the
vast stores of energy in the Universe without mechanical force, but through ionic oscillations. The
statements have been edited for clarity without changing the meaning being conveyed.
A brief description of the device
A brief description of what the device has done will be given. Also, successful demonstrations will be
described like those that have been made in the presence of hundreds of reliable witnesses, many of
whom are highly trained and hold degrees in physics and electrical engineering. There will be a brief
description of why the device works based on the oscillations of condensers. I do not believe in perpetual
motion. I have no quarrel with those that may; the operation of the Moray device is not perpetual
motion. It utilizes energy that exists and transforms it into useful forms. An electrical generator is not
really a generator, as it creates nothing. The generator does not make electricity. It is merely pumped.
From that standpoint, an electric generator might be referred to as an electron pump. The Moray energy
device might be called an electric siphon, or high speed-oscillating turbine.
T. H. Moray's device was enclosed in a box 10 x 10.5 x 26 inches, one wire leading from the device to a
special balanced antenna. Another wire was connected to a balanced ground connection.
In my version, a special tube ion is used. The switch of the device is simply turned on. The device is
adjusted so that a synchronized resonance is established. Once it is operating, the device "siphons"
energy. A specially constructed high frequency transformer is used to control the output so that any
desired voltage may be obtained.
On page 17 of the "Nature of the World and of Men" (compiled by the technical staff, Chicago Institute
of Technology), we learn that our planet is receiving energy from the Sun continuously at the rate of
160,000 horsepower per inhabitant.
In the "Physical Review," Dr. Gunn of the U. S. Navy Research Laboratories states that the Earth itself
is a huge dynamo, producing 200,000,000 amperes of electrical current. For more detail, read pages 334
to page 344, "Physical Review," July 15, 1939.
The Aurora Borealis is definitely considered to be an electrical phenomenon produced by the passage of
electric charges through the rarefied gases of the higher atmosphere.
The conversion of matter to energy in the stars is now generally accepted as fact. During radioactive
disintegration energy waves are radiated. Thus, we may conclude that energy waves of very high
frequency are sent out from the stars, one of which is our Sun.
Similar to the reception of radio waves, the Moray circuit is resonance tuned by the right arrangement of
inductance, capacities and oscillators. These components respond to the particular wave frequency
11
"oscillations" of energy from the Cosmos. Moray used a special valve to prevent return of the power to
the outer circuit and forced it to go through the power application circuit.
All that is necessary to put the device in operation is to start electric oscillations in the circuit due to a
difference of potential between ground and atmosphere.
The frequency of the current is extremely high, as is shown by the brush discharge when either the
antenna lead or the ground wire is disconnected from the machine. Certain difficulties of insulation
inherent in high frequency currents are avoided by the ingenious operations of the oscillator tubes that
reduce the frequency on the output side.
Standard electric light globes become exceedingly hot in one spot about the size of a dime when operated
on this current. This is due to the fact that the gas in the globes becomes incandescent under the influence
of the very high frequency current. Also, the luminosity of the incandescent gas is much higher and
whiter than with ordinary current. A variation of the Tesla, high frequency, button type globe would be
ideal for use with this device.
Ordinarily, when a potential is applied to the terminals of a condenser, a full charge is acquired almost
instantaneously. The filling up of Moray's oscillator tubes is similar to water being poured into a bucket.
That is, the longer the voltage is applied the greater the charge that is taken, up to the maximum capacity
for a given potential and frequency.
R.E. experiments have been made at different places, many miles from all power lines. One experiment
occurred more than 50 miles from any power lines and 26 miles from even a farmer's telephone. The
locations for these experiments were selected by those making the test and not by the inventor. These
locations were not prearranged but selected as they drove along in their own car, not the auto of the
inventor.
In an endurance test, the device was operated under seals for a total of 157 hours and 55 minutes. Then
the seals were broken and the device was put under severe strain and tests for about another hour and
then shut off.
Close examination of the device, showed that all parts were in perfect shape and could have been run
indefinitely. During the entire test the light burned evenly and brightly without flickering. There was no
change in the brilliance from day to day.
The quantity of current passing through the secondary of the transformer, experts have asserted, is
sufficient to burn up similar wire if ordinary current was used. Yet, there is no heating of the
transformer, even though cooling air was not present, as it is completely enclosed. All parts of the
machine run absolutely cool regardless of the length of time operated.
It makes no difference whether one 50-watt lamp is used or whether fifty of them are connected to the
machine; the current is adapted to the load.
This current has another physical characteristic as seen in photographs of light bulbs operated by the
radiant energy (R.E.) device. The photographic images of such bulbs are extremely bright. So, the
emulsion density in the area of the bulb image is extremely low, virtually zero. If one takes a photograph
of the original print the resulting film has the same characteristics. Prints made from this second film
have these same characteristics as well. The light bulb images have such extreme low density that one
has to reduce the exposure of other parts of the image in order to get a satisfactory picture. Yet the light
12
from the R. E. device is whiter and less harsh, even to stressed eyes. Here is further evidence that this
current is different from any coming from conventional sources in use today.
There is no sound coming from the machine when in operation, there being no moving parts, electrical
oscillations or prime mover operations.
The current cannot be derived from batteries, as it can be seen. Doctors of Physics have pronounced this
current to be high frequency. Only an alternating current has these properties. Batteries provide only
direct current.
It cannot be induction from adjacent power lines, as an induced current is always the same frequency as
the inducing current. There is no power line on Earth carrying current of these frequencies. This current
cannot be caused by radio signals. These are much too weak. To operate a loud speaker, it is necessary
to amplify a radio signal many times, to say nothing of lighting a lamp or heating a flat iron. Also, the
frequency of the incoming current is higher than radio signals.
Moray gave a demonstration for a nationally known physicist, a professor in one of the greatest
universities of this country. The physicist made these observations:
Moray states that when the oscillators are connected to the circuit the condensers fill slowly. The longer
the current is applied the greater the charge they take, up to their maximum for the applied voltage. This
is similar to filling a bucket by pouring the water into it. The condensers do not take the charge
instantaneously, as is ordinarily the case.
Moray has also stated that the size of wire in the transformer could not carry the amperage passing
through it without burning up if ordinary current were used. Yet the wires remained absolutely cool no
matter how long the machine operated.
The above points show these currents to be entirely out of the ordinary. They cannot be accounted for by
induction from existing power lines or current from batteries.
Another short account follows
Today Mr. Judd, Mr. Adams and attorney Nebeker visited the inventor's laboratory. After the "radiant
energy" device was packed into the attorneys’ auto, we drove away. The three above-mentioned
gentlemen began to discuss where they should go to make the test experiment. The inventor did not want
to have any say in where the test was made. He wanted the test to be made at a place selected by them.
At last, the three men decided to go up Emigration Canyon, as there are no power lines there. After
driving about four miles up the canyon they selected a place. Then they changed their minds, selecting
another place a few hundred feet further up the canyon.
Mr. Judd stayed in the car because of an injured foot, while Mr. Nebeker and Mr. Adams put up the
antenna and ground. The inventor then took the device out of the car and connected it to the "antenna and
ground." The switch on the device was opened and closed many times as in all former experiments, but
no light appeared. The device was then "tuned in" as Mr. Judd had witnessed in previous tests. Then the
switch was closed and the lights came on. The "antenna wire" was momentarily disconnected. The lights
went out but came back on when the "antenna" was again connected to the device. The same thing
happened when the "ground wire" was disconnected and then reconnected. All this with Mr. Judd
hopping around on one foot, he having gotten out of the car when the tuning process was started. All
13
three gentlemen were very well satisfied and pleased with what they saw. It was dusk when they left the
canyon.
The following is a letter describing a similar test performed at a different location
Dear Mr. Cooley,
This letter is being written for your information. It is a record of the electrical demonstration made
October 29th, 1926, by inventor T. H. Moray for Attorney Judd, Mr. Knight and myself.
As prearranged, I met Moray and Judd at the Moray laboratory about 7:10 a.m. on October 29th, 1926.
We carried the electrical equipment in my car and left Mr. Judd's car in the Moray parking lot.
I remember that the odometer registered 19 miles at Charleston and 26 miles as we left the last electric
power line near the mouth of Daniel's Canyon. It registered 52 miles when we stopped to do the
demonstration. Thus, we were 26 miles from the nearest power line and also 26 miles from the nearest
one wire rural telephone line.
Moray requested that we select a place near a stream of water so that the ground pipe could be sunk in
its bed to be more effective. The ground in the mountains, at this time of year, was frozen. We stopped at
a place about 10 miles southeast of the Daniel's Strawberry summit and about 200 yards west of the
main road to Duchesne. This location was almost due east from what Mr. Knight called Haystack
Mountain. It was perhaps ¾ of a mile east of Strawberry Lake on a little stream that made a zigzag
course through a gently sloping grassy flat.
The antenna wire was put up without any aid or instructions whatever from Moray, as it had been
"balanced." Moray did suggest that the wire be stretched tighter to prevent so much sag at its' center.
This was done and the wire then appeared to clear the ground by 7 or 8 feet at its lowest point.
Operation of the R.E. device;
The balanced ground rod was pointed at the end to make it easier to drive into the ground.
The antenna wire was insulated from the poles with two quartz glass insulators about six inches long. A
piece of wire about two feet long connected each insulator to the poles. The lead-in wire was fastened to
the antenna at a point about 10 or 15 feet from the east pole. I helped Moray solder the connection where
the lead-in wire was fastened onto the antenna wire. I also helped him solder the ground wire to the rod. I
stepped the distance between the two antenna poles and estimated it to be 87 feet as I took 29 steps
intended to be three feet each.
Moray took his electrical equipment out of the automobile and placed it on the running board of the car.
Two dry boards were laid on the ground and a rubber mat from my office was placed on the boards for
Moray to stand on. This was as a precaution against electric shocks. The running board was hardly large
enough for the equipment so we took the seat cushion out of the front seat and placed it on the mat.
Moray transferred the equipment to the seat cushion and connected it up there.
Very light snowflakes fell occasionally and a tarpaulin was hung over the top of the auto doors to protect
the equipment from getting wet. When all of the wire connections were made and the device
synchronized in resonance by Moray. It was just 1:05 PM by my watch. Before "tuning in" he closed the
switch but no light appeared. After "tuning in" for slightly more than 10 minutes the switch was closed
14
and the light appeared immediately. It was slightly after 1:15 PM by my watch. Moray closed the switch
two or three times before and during the tuning operation but no light appeared until perfect "balance"
was established.
While the lights were burning the antenna lead-in wire was disconnected from the apparatus. The lights
went out. When reconnected again, the lights reappeared. Moray disconnected the "ground wire" and the
lights went out. He then reconnected it and the lights appeared again.
E. C. Johnson of Salt Lake City, Utah signed the above letter.
Mr. Nelton Welling wrote this letter, describing yet another test
Your interest in the Moray invention to take electrical energy from the "air" and make it usable for light,
heat and power purposes is the reason for this letter. It describes a demonstration that I saw of his device
on Saturday, February 21.
A dozen people were present, including Paul Harsh, Mark Yuri and Mr. Ferguson.
I first witnessed a demonstration of this device three months ago. Since then, the cabinet containing the
machine has been simplified and improved. It was quite apparent that there was no possible faking of the
power produced.
The tuning device was improved. The time required to bring in the energy was shortened from five
minutes to less than a minute.
The operation was as simple as tuning in a well-equipped radio set. A lady who witnessed the
demonstration for the first time also performed this tuning. She operated the device as easily as Dr.
Moray himself did. This was after she had seen him "tune in" the energy.
A pilot light on the cabinet first became illuminated. The switch was then closed, connecting a light rack
with the current. Instantly thirty 50-watt lamps and five 100-watt lamps were brilliantly lit.
A regular, Hot Point flat iron was then connected without dimming the lights in the least. The inventor
stated that the result would have been the same had one hundred lamps been used in place of the 35 on
the light rack.
The lights and iron together were consuming more than four-horse power of electric energy.
On account of the brilliancy of the lights it was apparent that much more than ordinary voltage was
going into them. The excessive heat, which developed in one spot, made me feel that they would soon
burn out, but they did not.
I confidently believe Dr. Moray is on the threshold of perfecting one of the most amazing fundamental
inventions of history.
Very sincerely yours,
Nilton H. Welling

The next document is a lengthy report written by T. J. Yates to the Secretary of Utah about
Morays work
Dear Secretary of the State of Utah,
Many men of science have come from foreign countries and from the East and the West and have been
shown demonstrations. Not one of them has been able to find any fault with what they have seen or
heard. Names of these men will be furnished upon request. These men have had the device opened for
their inspection. They have pronounced the experiments to be wonderful, that the current is high
frequency, the color of the light different, that the device carries many times as much current without
even getting slightly warm. Any other electrical device of like construction, known to man, would burst
into flame if it were carrying that much current. They state that the "tubes used are far more powerful
than anything known to science today." The drawings, circuits and theory have been pronounced by
leading men of science as scientifically, electrically, mechanically sound and correct.
It is generally accepted now by science. Moray's device proves there is energy coming from somewhere,
that such a field of energy surrounds the Earth.
As Moray explains it, the oscillator tubes pick up electrical oscillations through the circuit of the device
itself. As stated, the Moray device picks up these surgings or oscillations of energy coming and returning
to the Universe. It is tuned to oscillate in harmony (sympathetically) with the oscillations of the Universe
just as musical instruments can be made to vibrate together. Every oscillation, whether large or small, is
completed during the same interval of time, the heartbeats of life. The oscillations of the Universe are
governed by the same eyelet of time and are completed during the same interval of time. As Moray stated
years ago, these waves of energy have a regular beat note of time, coming and going like the waves of the
sea. They are in a very definite mathematical order of time, coming to the Earth from every direction.
They are stronger in the day time than at night, but always coming with a regular beat note that might be
referred to as the Father of Time; the Sire of Gravitation.
This energy has a definite elastic rigidity and density, which is subject to displacement and strains. When
the strain is removed, this medium will spring back to its old position and beyond, surging back and forth
as the waves of the sea. It will continue to oscillate until the original pressure is used up. If the internal
impedance is too great, there will be no oscillations. It will merely slide back in a dead beat to its
unrestrained state. By cutting down the resistance to the minimum and by synchronous resonance
(sympathy) of the device with that of the Universe, recovery will be quicker and quicker. Finally inertia
will assert itself and lengthen the time of final recovery by carrying the recoil beyond the natural
oscillation. Thus, the vibrations are prolonged by oscillation. When the recovery is distinctly oscillatory,
resonance sets in. The oscillations will go on forever because they come from the Universe. These
electric oscillations are not simple ones, but surges with a definite beat note.
One will ask, how can you get steady energy from such surging? Since there is a great amount of energy
at such a terrific potential could not a steady flow of water be obtained from the surging of the sea?
The operation of the condensers need not be repeated here as they have been fully explained in the
enclosed account.
It is not claimed that all of Moray's theory is proven. But it is claimed that the device works. The results
are certain. In the absence of better explanations, Moray's theories are as good as any.
16
Moray explained his theory to a well-known and noted American scientist, who said, "You go in your
theory back to the law of gravitation."
In this day and age, anything is possible. What was done with radiant energy has been called "radical."
Nevertheless, of the great number of learned men who have seen and heard of Moray's work, not one has
been able to disprove his claims, theories or discoveries. Some of these men are amongst America's
foremost in science. They have spent from five hours to many days on the theory and claims and made
test experiments. Hence, these further explanations of the Moray theory, on which he has spent his time
from boyhood.
Fully realizing that whatever the difficulties in discovering new truths, there are still greater obstacles in
getting them recognized. As Mark Twain once said, "It takes many years to get a new idea fixed in the
human mind." One should not be long surprised at the attacks of some or at the exasperation of a certain
number of worthy people. Not surprising is the silence of a greater number of the scholars who have
heard of these experiments. It is hard for the average human mind to rid itself of inherited ideas, which so
completely and unconsciously control our line of thought. Franklin, Faraday, Cavendish and others were
unable to always express themselves so that their peers understood their inner meaning. They gave to the
World their ideas in a form unintelligible to others of their day. Yet their ideas have since become known
facts.
The theory described here is not new in the main, nor is it contrary to ideas that science has accepted
today. It is however original with Moray in application. When Moray first advanced them years ago they
were "killed" by those who heard of them before they got very far. Be that as it may, Moray has studied
"radiant energy" and found a means of using it. Heat, light, power and energy are not things in
themselves. They are sensations, or effects produced by this "cosmic power," directly or indirectly.
"ASTRONOMY," by Robert H. Baker, P.H. D. Professor of Astronomy, University of Illinois
Page 303:
Another problem relates to the apparent lavish expenditure of this radiation. Of all the energy that pours
forth from the Sun, the planets and their satellites intercept less than one part in 200 million. The
remainder spreads through interstellar space with little chance, so far as we know, of being recovered.
The suggestion that the Sun shines only in the direction of material that can intercept it, may appeal from
the point of view of economy, but appears to have little else to recommend it. It would seem that Nature
is squandering its resources of energy so prodigally that it must end in bankruptcy. But we doubtless
have at present, an imperfect account of the situation.
"FOUNDATIONS OF THE UNIVERSE," by M. Luckiesh, D. SS. Director of Lighting
Research Laboratory, General Electric Company printed in 1925
Page 5:
In the far-off stellar crucibles, we see the same laws being obeyed as in our laboratories. Tracing down,
to the almost infinitesimal constituents of the extremely minute atom, we find that apparently it does not
exist at all. It is not even as the realistic matter that we have supposed it to be. There at its very
foundation, it seems to consist of electric charges that probably simulate the motions of celestial bodies.
It is becoming more and more certain that the apparent complexity of Nature is due to our lack of
knowledge. As the picture unfolds, it promises a marvelous simplicity.
17
Pages 41-43:
The great success of the atomistic principle relating to the kinetic theory of matter, is one of the wonders
of the modern scientific age. As expected, it has found other applications equally fascinating and
promising. It is now being pressed further into the service of explaining the structure of matter.
Maxwell's Theory
When Maxwell (1873) propounded the electromagnetic theory of light (radiation), his achievement was
epochal. The exact manner in which the radiant energy traversed space was not known. The next epochal
event was the founding by Planck (1900) of the quantum theory. Here we have the atomistic principle
applied to energy instead of being confined to the material of the Universe as it had been. In other words,
in the quantum theory, we have the atomistic idea applied to physical processes. We now have the atom
of matter, the atom (electron) of electricity and the atom (quantum) of action (a product of energy and
time). Planck assumed the emission of radiation (from the Sun, a lamp filament, etc.), to occur
discontinuously. He conceived elements of energy of equal magnitude; analogous to the equality of
electrons, or atoms of a given element. Radiant energy is emitted at various wavelengths or frequencies
that must be taken into account in the laws of radiation. Now, the physicist uses quanta as commonly as
he does electrons and atoms and molecules. Bodies are built of molecules, the molecules of atoms, and
the atoms of electrons (and protons). Here we see the atomistic principle applied to "material" (matter)
and then to electricity (what shall we call it)? Finally, a physical process, the radiation emitted by the
electrons, is divided into quanta. With such pictures of the Universe being constructed, we may cease to
be surprised at anything, but our interest and admiration will grow.
One of the most marvelous relationships that has ever been revealed in the entire science of physics is
that between light and electricity. Knowing now how to view the structure of atoms, this relationship is
not quite so surprising. Half century ago, there was a total absence of knowledge, pertaining to the
existence of electrons in atoms of matter. So, the sudden revelation, that light (and radiation in general) is
an electrical phenomenon, was very startling and revolutionary. Even today those persons, who are
unfamiliar with fundamental physics, find it difficult to believe that energy traveling from yonder star to
the eyes, is electromagnetic in nature. But that has been amply proved. It is the atoms in those distant
stellar crucibles that possess moving electrons that are emitting electromagnetic waves of many
wavelengths or frequencies. Here on Earth, we have many 'receiving stations' that are tuned to certain
ranges of wavelengths.
"RADIANT ENERGY," by Edgar Lucien Larkin (1903)
Pages 17-18:
Radiant here means proceeding from a center in straight lines in every direction. Energy is internal and
inherent.
Professor Barker, "Physics," page 4, says: "Energy is defined as a condition of matter in which any
definite portion may effect changes in any other definite portion." This was written in 1892 and
discoveries since confirm it. Energy then, is a state of matter. Or rather, is it the result of a particular
state in which matter may be when any observed phase of energy appears?
18
These two notions, matter and energy, or possibly one, are the sum total of all that has been found during
three centuries of incessant research? This search has been in that portion of the Universe visible in a
forty-inch telescope, armed with the most powerful spectroscope ever made.
It is the belief of the writer that all this space is saturated with inconceivably minute corpuscles. J. J.
Thomson recently discovered these. These are doubtless either electricity in its ultimate refinement, or
very closely allied to it, or its immediate carriers. The smallest particle of hydrogen has long been
thought to be the smallest mass of any known particle of matter. But the corpuscles detected by
Thomson have only one-thousandth the mass of the hydrogen atom. The Earth and Sun, all suns and
dark bodies in space, all granular matter, moves through the primordial cosmic mass of electrical
corpuscles as would a wire screen through water. The wide spaces in diamond, glass, steel, flint, or
anything else, allow these "bodies smaller than atoms," as Thomson calls them, to pass through.
Larkin's Theory on the transmission of energy
From the definition of energy, it is the potential of the Universe. When matter is in a phase allowing it to
be active, it affects other quantities of matter at a distance. The method of transfer is known to be by
means of wave motion. Each impulse moves from the emitting to the receiving mass on a rigorously
straight line. One continuous set of oscillations in this straight line is called a ray. Each negative or
Thomsonian corpuscle makes a double vibration to and fro like a pendulum straight across the direction
of the ray – i.e., at right angles to it. The corpuscle moves over and returns to the original position it had
before the excursion. The corpuscles are negative and can be drawn out of their original straight path by
the action of magnetism. So, the entire wave motion of the Universe is electromagnetic. This is what
Maxwell prophesied forty years ago. Thomson fulfilled the prophecy.
After one corpuscle makes an oscillation across the direction of the ray and returns, the next does
likewise and the next and so on. After the first corpuscle makes a swing, another distant from it 186,000
miles in the same straight line, will also make a vibration at the end of the first second of time.
"ATOMS AND RAYS," by Sir Oliver Lodge, Fellow of the Royal Society of Science and holder
of five or six Doctors degrees from colleges, with honors from a score more. He has held offices of
President in a dozen or more Scientific Societies. Printed in 1924
The term 'light' strictly speaking, means that kind of ethereal radiation which is able to affect the eye. But
it is common knowledge that there are many other wavelengths of radiation besides those that effects the
eye. It is not clearly known why the eye is sensitive to some kinds of ethereal radiation and not to others.
That, no doubt, is a question for physicists and physiologists in collaboration. But the eyes of animals,
insects and man, all appear to be sensitive to a limited range of ethereal radiation, which is therefore
called light. Some kinds of radiation can affect a photographic plate. Other kinds can stimulate the
chemical actions going on in the leaves of plants and thereby supply the energy needed for vegetable
growth. Another kind, a rather deeper harmony as it were, supplies everything on Earth with warmth and
by evaporating water contributes to most of the phenomena of weather. Other kinds, again, are omitted
when individual electrons, traveling at a high speed in a vacuum, encounter the obstruction of a target.
These kinds of invisible radiation are called x-rays. And, at the opposite end of the scale, great antennas
emit another kind of radiation. These are the Hertzian waves employed in radio.
If describing these kinds of radiation as different, we are not speaking quite accurately. They differ only
as treble notes differ from bass notes. They differ in rapidity or rate, or vibration or wavelength. They do
not differ in any other essential particular. The longest waves are telegraphic ones, which may be a mile
19
long. Much, much shorter are the x-rays, whose wavelength is actually smaller than atoms, and only
expressible in billionths of an inch. This whole range of waves, travel at precisely the same speed. This is
the only speed at which the ether is able to transmit energy. They are all of the same electromagnetic
character. They are all subject to the same optical laws of interference, of reflection and polarization,
which have long been studied in departments of physics.
Moray would qualify the above by saying there are speeds greater than the speed of light
Whatever an electric charge is, or is not, it is certainly a focus of energy. Imagine an ether vortex,
containing the known mass of the electron and circulating with the velocity of light. The energy of this
vortex would be equal to that of the electric field in the space surrounding the electron. This coincidence,
if it were a coincidence, can hardly fail to have some meaning. Some thinkers are beginning to view the
whole material Universe as being built up of ether in various states of self contained or intrinsic motion.
These adjectives are intended to discriminate between rotary motion, like that of a top or a whirlpool and
ordinary locomotion, or whiffling from place to place. Locomotion has not been attributed to the ether,
which is the most stationary thing we know. It is perhaps the only stationary thing that exists, but it may
be full of what is sometimes called "stationary motion." This is a paradoxical term, appropriate to the
condition of a sleeping top.
Those who hold this view of the Universe are strengthened in their position by Einstein's expression of
energy in general. It is well known that all ordinary energy, such as the motion of railway trains, or
croquet balls, etc, is merely relative to the Earth, or to some other piece or matter. There is nothing
absolute about it. But Einstein gives an expression for what could be called absolute energy, in which the
only relevant velocity is that of light. All the phenomena of Nature, at any rate in inorganic Nature may
be due to, this great ethereal velocity. It must appear in a form that enables it to appear to our animal
derived senses. For the spinning motion itself is impalpable and beyond the ken of our instruments. It can
be detected only when it partially exhibits itself as transmitted waves in the form of radiation.
All the light that we experience can be resolved into vibrations or tremors in the ether. That is how we
first knew about the ether. But all electric and magnetic phenomena and therefore, all chemical activity
are likewise known to be modes of manifestation of the ether of space. The complete manner and
meaning of which have still to be worked out.
So the question arises, What is matter? Is that too a manifestation of some peculiar properties in the
ether? We know now that matter is built up of protons and electrons. But analyzing these into their
fundamentals, we find far more than a hint that they are but special modifications in the all-pervading
ether. They are essentially resolvable into ethereal energy of a specific kind. Hence, we are beginning to
think that matter itself is a form of energy.
Energy is one thing in the physical universe that directly appeals to us. We apprehend it under a great
variety of forms. And it is becoming provable that what we call matter is one of those forms. Most of the
known forms of energy are convertible one into another. The energy of motion turns into heat, as does
the energy of electric currents, unless it is converted into the energy of chemical separation or electric
charge. Conversion from one form to another, without loss, is the sign-natural of energy. The proof that
matter is a form of energy will not be clinched until it can be demonstrated that matter too is convertible
into other forms of energy.
Such a process has not yet been performed in our laboratories, or has it? Though it is believed to be
occurring in the giant stars. The interior of stars is at an altogether exceptional temperature and pressure.
20
This constitutes a laboratory where results can be beyond the scope of our present manipulation. In the
light from those stars we see some small residual outcomes of this production of energy at the expense of
matter. In their motions, we probably see the same thing. That, which we ordinarily recognize as the
locomotive energy of bodies, seems now to be overflow or surplus of the violent constitutional energy
within. This energy, at present seems inaccessible to us, but is possessed in enormous amount by the
very constitution of the atoms of matter. Fortunately, a few of those atoms have given us the hint. They
have spontaneously emitted their energy. We call it radioactivity. It is only the heavy atoms of fission
material and other substances at that end of the series, which still retain the property of spontaneous
disintegration. The other more familiar atoms seem to have lost that power, and settled down into
apparent stability and quiescence. These atoms show no obvious sign of possessing any such power. But
to the eye of science, it is there. Means have been sought for getting at it.
Combination of atoms into molecules and the interaction of molecules generally have long been known to
give rise to various forms of energy. Witness ordinary combustion and the power of explosives. Simple
atoms like those of hydrogen, can be packed together so as to form the more complex atoms of
higher elements. This process will liberate vast stores of energy, much greater than could be
obtained from ordinary kinds of chemical combination. It is highly unlikely that this will go on
spontaneously or uncontrollably or dangerously, under such conditions, as we are familiar with on Earth.
They may be violent enough under the conditions in the interior of stars, including perhaps our Sun. But
here, on Earth, they are traceable, guided and controllable. They will not run rampant and do damage,
except by reason of bad or malevolent arrangements and then only on a relative small scale.
How soon energy of this kind may become commercial, no one can say. The practical way is by using
energy from the cosmos; i.e., not by so-called fission material.
Another Testimonial
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,
This is to certify that on the evening of March 16, 1929, along with Dr. Wilkinson, of Cedar City, I
witnessed a demonstration at the laboratory of T. Henry Moray, Salt Lake City, Utah.
Dr. Moray claims to have invented an apparatus that will produce electrical energy without the use of a
prime mover. This apparatus was demonstrated on this occasion.
1. Description of the Apparatus
The apparatus uses an antenna specially balanced or an aerial capacitor and a special ground wire.
These were connected to the terminals of a switch. Two wooden boxes were placed on a table. On one of
these boxes was a high-frequency transformer. In the other box were two sets of condensers, ten large
ones in one set and ten small ones in the other set. There were two composition cylinders, each about 1 –
1/8 inches in diameter and four inches long. Each of these cylinders weighed about three or four ounces.
In addition, there was another box approximately hemispherical in shape, about two inches in diameter
and weighing about two ounces. There were also coils of wires and other equipment. These pieces of
apparatus were connected by a number of wires.
Two of these wires were led out to the switch. One was attached to the blade of the switch and the other
its' jaw. When the switch was closed, the antenna, lead-in, apparatus in the boxes and ground wire, were
all in series.
21
The other wires leading out of the box were connected to six 100-watt lamps connected in multiple
during part of the demonstration. A flat iron was connected during part of the demonstration, as well.
2. Demonstration
During the demonstration the apparatus was connected in series as above described, except that a small
switch connected in series with the coil was left open.
Dr. Moray energized and synchronized the device in three or four minutes. The lamps were lighted and
remained bright as long as the switch was left closed, which was about 60 minutes. He then connected an
electric flat iron. In a short time, the iron was hot. When the "ground wire" was disconnected and then
the lead-in was disconnected, the lights went out.
3. Objections people have made
I. That there is a hidden wire from the electric lighting current obtains the power.
II.
That the power is obtained from batteries.
4. Tests
Before and after the demonstration I closed the big switch that connects or shorts the antenna and
ground. I also made other tests. If the antenna or lead-in were connected to the lighting circuit this would
have produced a short circuit. I further tested the device by closing and opening the switch several times
to see if any sparks appeared. But there were no sparks. I placed my wet finger between the blade and
the jaws of the switch and could not feel any electricity. I touched my hand to both sides of the switch
and the wall to check for ground but could not feel anything. We turned the table over and examined it
carefully for hidden wires but found none. With the apparatus all connected as when operating the lights
the contacts with the switch were moved but produced no arcing. This indicates that the circuit was dead.
While the demonstration was being conducted and the lamps were receiving energy through the
apparatus, the main switch, that controls the lights in the building, was opened. All lights on the house
circuit went out but the lights on the Radiant Energy circuit were not altered. They were neither brighter
nor dimmer at that time. Thus the lights could not have received their power from that source.
The condensers were thoroughly tested. The terminals were shorted, the positive to the negative. If they
had been batteries they would have showed a spark. But no sign of spark appeared. I connected them to
the electric terminals then tested them. After being charged, the large condensers gave a vigorous
discharge, showing a brilliant strong arc and a loud sound. They showed a sudden discharge as
condensers are supposed to do and batteries never do.
The small condensers were less vigorous in discharging. They displayed the same snappy discharge of a
condenser and not how a battery discharges. These tests proved positively that condensers and not
batteries were in the cases. Besides no batteries of such size, could produce such power. The boxes were
completely emptied thus leaving no possible place for batteries to be stored. Besides the boxes were not
large enough in order to hide batteries.
During the time that the lights were burning the connections with the big switch were moved along the
switch and vigorous arcing occurred. Thus, proving that electrical energy was passing through this
apparatus.
22
5. Conclusions
The electric lamps received energy from some source. During the demonstration, which lasted for more
than an hour, the lights were brilliant at all times, just as bright at the end as at the beginning of the
demonstration.
The lights were a different color and brighter and whiter than those on the house circuit. The electric
energy that lighted the lamps and heated the flat iron was not received from the house circuit.
One is therefore forced to the conclusion that the electric energy was received from some other source.
As difficult as it is to understand, with our present knowledge, the only conclusion that can be drawn
from the demonstration is that the energy was received by and through the apparatus as claimed by Dr.
Moray.
T. J. YATES, KE N.E.
This next letter is from Murray O. Hayes Ph.D.
To all whom it may concern,
It is now more than two years since I first became acquainted with Dr. T. H. Moray and the work he is
carrying on. In that time he has demonstrated inventive ability of an exceptional order.
Perhaps the most wonderful of his inventions is a device whereby he is able to draw electric power from
the Cosmos. This energy is not derived by induction from power lines, as has been suggested by some,
nor is it derived from radio stations. This has been demonstrated by taking the apparatus more than 50
miles from the nearest power line and over a hundred miles from the nearest radio station. At this
location it operated just as well as anywhere else. This device was subjected to an endurance test in
which it was operated continuously for a week. During this test a 100-watt lamp was lighted
simultaneously along with the heating of a 575-watt standard Hot Point flat iron, making a total of 675watts. It is very evident that no batteries could sustain such a current drain as this. Besides the current is
high frequency.
He has also invented a very sensitive sound detector whereby it is possible to hear conversations carried
on in an ordinary tone of voice, at a distance of several blocks.
He has also worked out numerous radio designs that eliminate many of the parts now considered
necessary for good reception. Yet, there was no apparent diminution in quality or volume. In fact, there
was a notable elimination of interference from static when some of these designs were used.
He has devised a means for measuring with some degree of accuracy the energy evolved during mental
activity. His device shows variable deflections of a sensitive galvanometer needle that appeared to be
related to the rigor of mental activity.
There are a great many other equally remarkable things that he has done. For example, reducing old
rubber from truck tires to the state of a viscous fluid. This fluid is readily vulcanized without the addition
of a smoke sheet as is necessary with other processes. He also created a high frequency therapeutic
device and numerous other devices, which show great ingenuity.

This letter is addressed to Mr. Lovesy is from Murray O. Hayes, Ph.D.
Dear Mr. Lovesy,
As promised during our recent discussion, I am writing about my acquaintance with the construction and
operating principles of the Moray device for utilizing cosmic energy.
You are already aware that I have seen many demonstrations of what this mechanism will do. Also, I
have seen the parts of which it is built. Recently Dr. Moray has shown to me the wiring diagram of the
device. I can find no inconsistencies in it, not anything that does not appear to be logical and sound.
While this device appears to be very complicated, when looking at the machine, it is in reality very
simple in essence. It is based on reorganized laws of electricity, when all is explained. There are many
features which appear to be incidental, but they are in reality of basic importance.
He has also shown to me and explained the detector that his device uses. In this he has applied a
fundamental principle of electric circuits which, I believe, would not have been noticed unless pointed out
by him. This detector also has numerous features which appear incidental but are the heart of the matter
and of first importance.
In my own home he connected his detector into a crystal set for receiving radio in place of the crystal.
The reception was better than with the Erla crystal, though the antenna was merely one of the bell type.
He also took a lump of lead treated according to a process of his own. He used in it place of the crystal
and got wonderful reception of radio signals. They were loud enough, in fact, to operate an old fashion
horn speaker of the type put out of RCA about 1923.
I was recently present when an electrical engineer representing the Russian government was given a
demonstration of the energy machine. He at first said that the amplification of radio waves accounted for
the output energy. However, it would be a real achievement to amplify such waves sufficiently to light
six one hundred-watt lights at one time. This is in addition to heating a flat iron of the standard five
hundred seventy-five-watt type. When engineer saw the inside of the device, he admitted that it could not
have been radio waves. He remarked many times, "It is very interesting."
This machine has been operated in my presence so many times, under so many different conditions of
weather and of Season that I am positively convinced that it is what its' inventor claims it to be. I also
believe that its' commercial adaptation is feasible. I believe that Dr. Moray has explained everything to
me without reservation. I am sure that this is a revolutionary and epoch making invention.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Murray O. Hayes

Patent Correspondence
Dear Henry,
For your information, I wish to report on the matter of your radiant energy machine since coming here.
We arrived here Friday, July 10. On Monday, July 13, I spent the whole day in the search room of the
Patent Office. I examined every patent issued by the U. S. on devices for the reception of radiant energy.
Most of them were so obviously dissimilar to your invention that they did not consume much time. Not
one is there which shows, on reading, even the remotest resemblance to your radiant energy machine.
Not one mentions such an idea.
Neither is there any patent that suggests anything like your oscillator tubes. I feel perfectly safe in saying
that there is not one chance in a hundred thousand that the examiner will find any disclosures that will
restrict your claims. I have always felt certain that you would obtain broad protection on your radiant
energy invention. But now I know it for certain.
You may use this letter in any way that you see fit.
Very truly yours,
Murray O. Hayes
Thomas J. Yates, E.E., M.E, wrote this notarized letter
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,
I witnessed a demonstration of the apparatus invented by Dr. T. H. Moray by which he produces
electrical energy. A report of that visit has already been made.
I now have, about two years later, witnessed a second demonstration of the same device; some changes
in the apparatus were noted. A great improvement was made in the performance. The condensers, coils
and other parts, noted at the previous test, were now in one small box about 10 x 10 x 30 inches. A safer
and better means of starting the device has been devised. Once the apparatus is put in operation, it will
continue to charge itself.
The lamp rack that formerly held six 100-watt lamps has been replaced. The new rack is larger and
holds thirty-two 50-watt lamps, three 100-watt lamps and a receptacle to receive an extension plug and
cord. On the other end of this cord a 575-watt electric iron was connected. During this test, all of the
electric lamps were lighted at one time. Their light was whiter and more brilliant than other lights in the
room, which were supplied from the house circuit. When the lights were on bright, the electric iron was
plugged in. There was no noticeable blinking or sudden diminution of the lights as in the usual house
lighting systems when an electrical iron is turned on. The lights were as bright as before the iron was
plugged in. The iron heated quite rapidly. In about 2½ minutes it was hot enough to be used for ironing.
I made a thorough and careful examination of the entire system to see if electricity could have been
introduced from some other source. I inspected every part of the system, all wires were checked; the
switch was removed and examined. Leads from the switch to the box containing the condensers and coils
25
were checked. The box itself was lifted and examined. The leads from the box to the lamp rack were
inspected. The lamp rack was lifted and examined, as was the ground wire from the switch to the water
pipe on which it was grounded. Not an inch of space was overlooked where there might be any metal that
would carry the power. I am prepared to say that no such connection existed from which power could be
had from any other system.
A crystal radio set was connected to the lead-in wire from the antenna on one side and to the ground wire
on the other. Perfect reception was had. If there had been power from other sources on the antenna or
lead-in wire radio reception would not have been possible. Instead a loud humming sound would be
produced. This was demonstrated that by connecting the radio set to the house lighting system.
When Moray's system was working, the lights were burning bright. The terminal attached to the antenna
was disconnected. A vigorous arcing occurred and the sparks jumped over an air gap as long as eighteen
inches. This would indicate that the power was high voltage. The nature of the sparks indicated a high
frequency current.
I do not understand the principle by which Dr. Moray's device produces the electric energy. The
condensers and the coils of wire are common. The cylinders called "oscillators" and the small conical
shell called the "detector" are the only things not commonly known, but the system works. It produces
electric power in abundance and does all that Dr. Moray claims for it.
I do not own any stock or interest in Moray's work. My only purpose in issuing this statement is in the
interest of the advancement of science. I consider this development a great advance in the science of
producing electrical energy.
Very truly yours,
In witness to the above I hereunto sign my name.

This is a letter addressed to Moray from W. H. Lovesy
Dear Henry,
I have handed you the original letter from Murray O. Hayes, in which he described being shown and
having explained to him the wiring diagram of your R.E. device. Also the fundamentals of the detector
were explained to him. In that letter he stated plainly these fundamentals would not have been noticed
unless pointed out by you. At the same time, he had become familiar with all of the details of the
construction of your device for utilizing cosmic energy. He added that you had applied only fundamental
principles of electric circuits.
There is attached a second letter containing details of Mr. Hayes educational record.
I made the memorandums on the face of these two original documents at the time I was consulting with
Murray O. Hayes in my office. At the time he definitely advised me of being shown every detail of your
invention. Mr. Hayes stated that he could make one of the machines himself from the information that
had been given him.
Murray O. Hayes made similar statements to me several times. I have made repeated requests that he
makes these declarations. Namely that he had been shown every detail of the invention. Perhaps these
repeated requests gave him the impression that I had a doubt about the invention.
Personally, I have never had a doubt. But I thought that only you held the real detailed secrets of the
invention. I had a conference in New York with Dr. Harvey Fletcher and Dr. Carl Eyring at the Bell
laboratories. I agreed with them to ask you to give the details of your invention to Murray O. Hayes. The
purpose was to determine if he could duplicate your machine. In every instance his answer was emphatic
and to the effect that he could do so.
Yours truly, W. H. Lovesy
This letter is from Geo. R. Pyper
To Whom It May Concern,
I have worked in electricity all my life. I was with the Utah Power and Light Company for thirteen years
and worked in all departments including sub-stations. I have been with the Kearns Corporation for over
seventeen years. I have been in charge of all the electrical work for the Tribune and Telegram Publishing
Company and in the Kearns and Tribune Buildings.
In last December I witnessed a demonstration at Dr. Moray's laboratory of his electrical marvel box. He
let me see inside this box. There was a H. F. transformer, some of his cold tubes and some condensers.
Dr. Moray connected this box to a special balanced aerial and ground wire from outside the building.
Two of us held a counter poise antenna attached to glass insulators in the room. When he connected the
box to this counter poise antenna, I saw the same results as with the external aerial.
During this demonstration and while the lamp and appliances were operating, I shorted the aerial and
ground wires. There was no spark; it just turned off the power from the box. I then took hold of both of
these wires and felt nothing, they were both cold.
27
He then took a larger box, about 18 x 30 x 15 inches and connected it to the outside aerial and ground
wire. From this box he lighted about fifty 100-watts, 120-volt lamps, ran a small motor specially wound
at great speed, an original electric iron and a 500-watt glow heater.
Dr. Moray then disconnected the appliances and lamps and attached two long wires to the box. We
pulled the main line, Utah Power and Light Company service switch for his building. We attached the
wire from the box to the building side of the switch. He lighted his building and heated iron heaters. In
fact, he did everything the Utah Power and Light Company service would do except run motors that I
understand have to be specially wound.
Standard globes were used. They seemed to give a softer whiter light that was more like daylight.
I am satisfied from my experience in electricity that there was no fake of any kind such as concealed
batteries or wires. Everything was in the open so I could see every operation. I did not see the inside of
the larger box.
It was a very remarkable demonstration and one that I will always remember.
Geo. R. Pyper
SECTION SUMMARY
Whenever a fairly large amount of oppositely charged ions coexist within a small volume of space
extensive recombination occurs. The resulting accumulative radiation can add up to an intense,
constant wide-band frequency. This phenomenon prevails around many stars in our own galaxy
and is concentrated around nebulas and star clusters. Indeed, this is a very old source of energy.
All we have to do is attach our machines to this "wheelwork of nature."

In 1942, shortly after World War II began for the United States, Henry Moray attempted to rebuild
a radiant energy device. He used the remaining bit of what was known as the "Swedish Stone." This

developed a second detector that forced him into extensive research involving nuclear materials and
radioactive reactions. He became deeply involved in the study of synthetic radioactivity as described

As far as atomic energy is concerned for heat, light and power, it is and always will be nothing
more or less than an expensive, dangerous, glorified steam plant or an equally dangerous
thermoelectric device. The process involves breaking into the lines of force of the radiation field that
surrounds the reactor to capture energy. Such a plant, no matter how efficient, never is the
complete answer to the World's energy problems. Costs and weight will always be a great problem.
Any nuclear fuel, even the most "super nuclear pile reactor," or what have you, is, and always will
be, just another way to operate an energy plant from any heat, light and power viewpoint. p. 1
When Moray used the word "Universe" he was often referring to the atom. Moray refers to
cosmic energy that relates to both "stellar space" as it does to "atomic space." p. 61
The facts involved are the same in both the radio receiving set and this device. The nature of the
mechanism, however, in one differs greatly from the other. The radio receiving set receives
transmitted energy waves out of the air and transposes them into sound waves. The R.E. device
receives oscillations from the Universe, and transposes them into electricity. p. 13
If the frequency is raised high enough, molecules will separate and the atoms are freed. Raise the
vibration of the atoms still higher and higher and they will resolve themselves into the original
elements of which all matter is constituted. p. 15
Cosmic rays are constantly creating radioactive carbon. The fusion of small atoms together to make
larger ones gives off more energy than so-called "splitting" of the larger uranium or plutonium
atoms. The uranium energy release ratio is only 1 to 1000 – that is only 1/1000 of the heavy atoms
are changed in the uranium "atom splitting" process of the atomic pile. p. 60

There are some interesting side details. "We" (a group of us in government and industry, loosely

amount of unpurified radium reduced from U238 yellow cake.
The pellets were subjected to a huge number of millibars of pressure by a tetrahedral press used for
manufacturing artificial diamonds. This technique was developed and patented by Dr Tracy Hall
after he left GE. When a certain critical pressure was reached "something" in the material "flashed."
The electric pulse produced was so violent that it burned out the 2000-amp carbon-die heater
power supply, blew the main breakers in the building and blew the power line transformer on the

My Radiant Energy Research
Whenever radiation from a radioactive substance ionizes atoms, electrons are emitted. The
electrons almost immediately recombine with the positively charged atoms that expelled them in the
first place. Charge equilibrium occurs at the exact moment of recombination, along with
electromagnetic oscillation. A by-product of this phenomenon is called ionic oscillation.
Radioactive particles will again separate the newly recombined atom. In fact, any electrically
neutral atom will lose electrons when exposed to radioactive matter. The atom that is left behind
becomes a positive ion. This process of ionization and recombination is a continuous cycle as long
as the atom is exposed to a source of ionizing radiation.
Whenever a fairly large amount of oppositely charged ions coexist within a small volume of space,
the accumulative radiation from recombination can add up to an intense, constant wide-band
frequency. This phenomenon prevails around many stars in our own galaxy and is concentrated
around nebulas and star clusters. Indeed, this is a very old source of energy. All we have to do is
attach our machines to this "wheelwork of nature."
What has just been revealed to you here is the final secret to harnessing the very wheelwork of
nature. Ionic recombination of the decay products of radioactive isotopes will produce intense
surges of electromagnetic energy. More often the wavelengths created are in the infrared (thermal)
range. However, the wavelengths generated can also manifest within the radio frequency range or
even far into the gamma end of the electromagnetic spectrum. They can even be made to manifest
as free electrons. What does the decay of radioactive matter teach us about the nature of energy?
Under the right conditions, radioactive particles can be made to generate intense surges of energy in
the radio frequency range. Tune into this energy with a tank circuit that will resonate with it and
you have yourself a powerful source of electrical power.
To the best of my knowledge no person has ever harnessed radioisotopic energy using the process
that I have just explained, with the exception of T. H. Moray and myself. There is not a patent to
be found that even closely resembles it. Radio astronomy only gives us hints about these "ionic
oscillations."
Many radioactive isotopes could be used to generate electrical power. However, the real power
behind these isotopes is the radon gas that they release. I have pointed this out many times in my
writings, lectures and articles. Polonium can be cheaply manufactured by bombarding the metal
bismuth with a source of neutrons.
In United States Patent 2,728,867, it is stated that each gram of nuclear fuel that is undergoing
fission gives off around twenty watts of power. In comparison, one gram of polonium will generate
about one hundred and forty watts of power. This is seven times more energy than what is
available from a conventional nuclear reactor!
31
If polonium is made to generate surges of intense electron oscillations then it becomes a powerful
source of radio energy. A simple ion valve, or call it what you will, can be used to generate these
oscillations. They in turn can be directly converted to electrical power. This unique valve is shown
in Figure 4. Before it can function it must be connected to a source of high-voltage. In order for
electrical energy to be extracted, it must also be connected to a proper circuit. One such circuit is
detailed in Figure 5. The electronic circuit shown is basically what is required for this conversion.
Many additional stages can be added for more power. Many other circuit and component
configurations can also be used but the fundamental conversion principle will remain the same. The
circuit and components shown in this book will give you the general idea of the principles involved.
The actual mechanics and electronics of building and validating a radiant energy prototype are
relatively simple. It is fun and easy. Moray's devices used a detector that was ionized by
radioactive impurities. However, radioactive material need not be used, from what we now know.
Those involved in building prototypes, must first confront some serious issues before beginning. I
will try to enumerate a few pitfalls and make descriptions as clear as I can. This will fortunately
and blessedly push some of you into action, but for others it will be viewed as an impossible
challenge.
What are the most important assets for beginning my research?
1.
2.
3.
4.
Dedication
Motivation
Passion
Do instead of just theorizing.
What is the second most important thing?
The lone wolf researcher will need a lot of skills if their project is to be successful. Among the
most valuable skills are those involving electronics technology. Plus, some familiarities with
machine shop practice and materials. A good sense of organization is important. Being able to
stand-back and observe the big picture, along with a lot of plain, good old common sense; are
necessary skills to have. The "hands-on-imperative" must be at the very core of your efforts.
What if I have few tools and skills but have the dedication?
Then you need to have some cash, the green stuff. You will have to buy the skills, knowledge and
time of others. You can farm out electronics and machining chores but it will be expensive. The
more that you can do for yourself the better off it will be for you in the long run.
A fully equipped, skilled, advanced amateur radiant energy experimenter might slip by for about
$300.00 for everything. If you have only a few tools hanging around then a proof of concept
prototype might cost you around $500.00 because of the extra tools that you will have to purchase.
Later you can build a more powerful prototype to replace the proof of concept design. Your basic
working design will not have to be replaced. You can add more components as your research
progresses. Simple dedication goes a long way. Watching, paying attention to details and doing it
right the first time; are all very important. With this borne in mind, you could complete a powerful
prototype for around $5,000.00 that could provide power for the average home. However, it is not
32
now my intention to instruct you on how to build a home power unit. This book was written so that
you may validate the technology; refinements still have to be made.
Are there any dangers involved?
Yes, of course there are! There are a number of ways to wind up in an early grave! Most of the
lethal dangers can be avoided with skills. Read first and do second. Reference books and a solid,
broad-based scientific library are your true assets. Access to the Internet would also be very
helpful. Know the danger zones in the various disciplines that you are going to come across in your
research endeavors.
The radiant energy circuitry is connected to an antenna and ground. A lightning strike could fry the
device and burn down your house to boot. I take no responsibility for this. You build these circuits
at your own risk. Take the time to install lightning protection on the antenna and ground leads. It
could save you a lot of grief in the long run.
Some specific dangers include:
1. Crushed and mangled hands of the unwary or metal splinters in the eyes or skin.
2. There are burn and eye damage hazards.
3. Imploding glass bell jars, power valves, can scatter glass splinters at high velocity into face
and body. Always use glass enclosures that can withstand the vacuum that is being applied.
Do you have what it takes to go the distance?
If you have what it takes and there is a burning passion for this research then you are probably
ready to begin. This is not a place for a wimpy mentality. If you become frustrated or fail in your
experiments, have the courage and good grace to realize how this came about. Make the effort to
find out where you made your mistakes.
More than likely, you are going into this research with learning from books that have been written
to hide certain facts from you. Do not expect results over night. Learn all that you can by careful
observation, educate yourself, search out the truth first and let Nature be your guide.
There are political powers in this World that would not like to see us succeed in getting radiant
energy power implemented. They know quite well that this energy source will liberate the global
community. This mode of power generates not only power, but it will also generate hope for our
decaying World.
Fundamental Validation Test Circuit
First of all, let me say, there is no fringe science involved with radiant energy power generation.
This is a very old source of energy being extracted and harnessed in a unique, new way. I do not
claim to have discovered anything new in nature. What I do claim is an improved method to
convert radiant energy (atomic ions) into useful electrical power. Think of the radiant energy
receiver as a type of electronic heat pump, only it is pumping ions, not heat. No laws of physics are
being violated. No new laws are being implied.
33
Energy from the Dissociation of Matter
It is no secret that electrical current can be obtained by utilizing a couple of dissimilar metals. You
can plunge a dissimilar couple into an electrolyte to obtain electrical current. This is called
electrochemical energy. You can heat the junction of a pair of dissimilar wires that have been
twisted together at their ends to generate electrical potential. This is called "thermoelectricity."
However, what is not generally known is that you can also generate electrical current with plasma
or a glow discharge as your medium between two dissimilar electrodes. This effect is the result of
"triboelectricity." All these forms of electrical energy are caused by the dissociation of matter. This
dissociation of matter is called "radioactivity" by the scientific world. All electrical phenomenon is
the result of this radioactive decay.
Proof of Concept - Figure 3

The "ion gate" in this circuit uses two .001mfd/20kvdc capacitors and two 20kv, 100nanosecond diodes.
There are varieties of electronic circuits that can be built to serve as ion pumps. The circuit
used was designed by Robert E. Iannini and can be found on my website at:
http://www.nuenergy.org/plasma.htm
The ion valve in the above proof of concept prototype consists of a standard aluminum
electrical conduit that is six inches in length. Its center wire is a 60 µm diameter tungsten wire
secured with two half-inch PVC end caps.
Preliminary Ion Valve Validation
1. The output at the ion gate reads around 5KVDC using an analog high voltage test probe
without the ion-regulator valve in the circuit. With the ion valve in circuit a 20KVDC
reading is obtained with at least a 25% reduction in current being drawn to power the
circuit.
2. The apparent energy gain in the above ion valve appears from the fact that when negative
ions produced at the surface of the inner cylinder bombard the center wire secondary
negative ions are generated. The negative ions, when accelerated with sufficient voltage are
capable of dislodging (dissociation) other negatively charged ions by from the target
against which they impinge upon; and a significant result is that the number of secondary
ions may be several times greater than the number of primary ions. This has the effect of
reducing power drain from the power supply. A.W. Hull observed this effect in a
thermionic tube − HULL, Proc. I.R.E., 6, 5, 1918.
3. The ion valve can be used as a quenching (regulator) device that can provide clean
sinusoidal currents to the output current.

Ion Valve Technology
Explained
An ion valve that has been preconditioned with radon gas will uniquely add electrons to an applied
high-voltage source. Inputted energy can be converted to a higher wattage electrical output. Using
an ion valve in this embodiment the basic design has an axial, negatively charged cathode wire that
extends the length of the cylinder. The anode is made out of an aluminum cylinder that is positively
charged. Its cathode is a tungsten wire or rod that is negatively charged.
Ion Valve - Figure 4
In the diagram shown here negatively charged ions are formed at the surface of the center cathode
wire. Positively charged ions are formed on the inner surface of the anode cylinder.
When a surge of ions flows through the valve they are added to the negative ions that sit on the
cathode. They are now attracted to the positive anode cylinder. A few milliseconds later the
positive ions on the surface of the inner cylinder are attracted to the negatively charged onrushing
35
ions. When these negative and positive charges collide they neutralize each other generating
electromagnetic oscillation. This characteristic has the effect of suppressing any inductive kick
back seen from the loads that would normally flow back towards the power supply. Feedback from
the loads to the power supply will result in wasteful heat losses.
I am fully convinced that my ion valve is a refined version of Edwin Gray's conversion tube
described in his US Patents No. 4,595,975 and No. 4,661,747. Chauncey J. Britten also describes
a similar component in his US Patent No. 1,826,727. Mr. Britten's component appears to be a
prior variation of my ion-regulator valve design. Britten's valve was said to have lit up his home in
1930 according to a local newspaper article of that time period. Russian scientist Alexander
Chernetski experimented with what appears to have been a type of ion-regulator valve. It is said
that he got up to five times more energy out of his device than what he put into it. Plans were made
to commercialize the invention but like the Moray, Gray and Britten devices it never became a
commercial product.
The ion valve is not to be confused with a current rectifier. The ion valve prevents ions from
flowing back to the power source. It is an 'energy dam' for the lack of a better description. Both
negative and positive ions can flow through this component. The valve has a charge blocking
effect. This is why Moray stated that "the valves are not rectifiers in the sense that they operate as
radio valves in changing AC or HF to DC. Ion valves have an actual valve action in stopping the
'flow' of energy in one direction. Its function may be thought of as an oscillatory action similar to
the waves of the sea, without rectification, from returning to the outer circuit." p. 209, The Sea of
Energy, 5th edition. This rather cryptic language now makes more sense seeing first hand how my
ion valve works.
The metal atoms in the cathode wire are bonded to each other through electron sharing. In another
embodiment, to break these bonds the wire is given a positive charge and the cylinder is given a
negative charge. The negative charge on the cylinder negatively ionizes any gas that contacts it.
These ions rush towards the positive cathode. When an ion that carries an excess electron hits head
on with a positively charged metal atom the electron combines with the metal atom. The absorbed
electron passes along its kinetic energy onto the metal atom causing it to break its bonds with the
atoms that were joined to it. This generates an intense burst of free electrons. The "sea electron"
model helps to explain this effect. It is where metal atoms are bathed in a "sea" of valence
electrons. If this model is taken one step further it can be shown that when metallic atoms are
dissociated from each other excess electrons are released as pure electrical energy. This occurs
because the electrons no longer take part in the intermolecular binding force that existed before the
dissociation took place. The freed electrons will add amperage to the output circuit to which it is
connected. Henceforth, the equation I x E = P holds true in this system. Where, "I" represents
electrons (amperage), "E" electromotive force (ionic voltage) and "P" is the power generated.
The ion-regulator valve is an important component to the radiant energy converter. Add a grid to
this valve and you then have an ion driven oscillator component. The ion-regulator valve can be
used as a rectifier by heating its cathode. Electric motors can be made to draw less current from the
power supply. Communication systems that take advantage of the ion valve as an oscillator could
make present day radio transmission obsolete. Electrical power transmission and its generation
could also receive a fresh new start. The possibilities are refreshing. It is an honor to offer
humankind this technology. It is my goal to build and bring devices to market that will introduce
new products that will better the quality of our lives.

Radiant Energy Generator Concept Device - Figure 5
37
To activate an ion valve a vacuum is pulled, radon gas is introduced and a negative charge is
applied to the cathode wire. The radon decays and deposits lead–210. This is a beta emitter and
will supply electrons without the need for filament current.
T55 Taylor electron tubes were used in the above public demonstration device due to nuclear
regulatory restrictions. Other radio vacuum tubes may be substituted. The energy output of this
device does not give the slightest shock when the hands are in direct contact with it. Voltage meters
will not respond to this type of energy. A 100-watt light bulb placed across the output will be
brighter than if powered by conventional current. The filament within the light bulb can be seen to
glow a cherry red and the gas is excited throughout. It is not a form of electricity that we are
accustomed to experiencing. This type of electrical current should not be confused with what
powers the circuitry of Figure 5.
The source of energy that drives the circuit is a wavelength of energy that T. H. Moray loosely
called "radiant energy." To obtain power from this energy source a receiver must be built that will
oscillate in harmony with it. This particular type of radiant energy possesses great powers of
penetration, exceeding, in fact, the penetrating powers of ordinary x-rays. These rays have been
proven to be harmless and may be used, if desired, to produce clear radiographs. They are
antiseptic, germicidal, and are good tissue builders possessing wonderful healing powers. They will
also effect photographic plates, produce phosphorescence in certain substances, render the
surrounding air conductive to electricity and can produce heat in some materials.

Edwin Gray's Energy System
Thomas H. Moray invented a high efficiency 6,000-hertz power supply. It turns out that Edwin
Gray's power supply also produced this same frequency. Gray claimed that electrical equipment
such as solid state radio; television and light bulbs would operate on this type of current.
The overall efficiency of the Gray device was said to be extremely high. From one of his company
press releases we are told that it will power loads four times longer in comparison to a standard
DC to AC inverter power supply. This particular press statement indicates that he was planning to
market a device that put out a 6Khz frequency, as compared to the standard 60Hz frequency
coming from the public utility power grid.
Both the Moray and Gray energy systems harnessed a very old source of energy in very unique
ways. They could be the solution to our power needs by using an inexpensive renewable energy.
The advantages over other systems are many. The World is indeed moving at a suicidal pace, we
need this technology more than ever. It will light lights, run motors and electrical appliances.
When you put a high potential current across two separate elements, ionization will occur between
them. The high voltage elements 12 & 34 develop a pre-discharge plasma glow between them. The
charge polarity given to the tube 14 in the Gray circuit puts it into an impulse mode. When a glow
pre-discharge is present in this mode no current flows. The tube 14 functions pretty much like a
Geiger radiation detection tube waiting for an electromagnetic surge to trigger it into conduction.
Discharge occurs across the spark gap 62 once the capacitor 16 charges to the gaps' breakdown
voltage. Once the arc is broken the capacitor 16 recharges, the cycle repeats and the cycle repeats
so long as the batteries remain charged. This discharge current flows along the red wire shown in
Figure 6.
Consider an electron moving through a magnetic field, whose lines of force are at right angles to its
direction of motion. It is known that the electron is constrained to move in a circular path. In fact,
if the field is made strong enough the electron may be forced to revolve in a circular orbit whose
diameter is smaller than the field. If a magnetic field is applied transversely to the motion of the
electrons, they may be deflected to such an extent as to prevent them from reaching the plate. Thus
they are constrained to return to the cathode. A.W. Hall of the General Electric Co. was the first to
use this principle in a highly efficient vacuum tube converter that he called a magnetron. The
sudden discharge through the element 12 generates an intense electromagnetic field that collapses
very abruptly. This discharges the energy stored in capacitor 38 in series with the load 36 and
capacitor 16. During this discharge cycle capacitors 16 & 38 recharge and in the same moment a
powerful surge of electrical oscillations flows through the load 36. The collapsing magnetic field in
conjunction with the reappearance of the pre-glow discharge instantly generates a pulse train of
electrical oscillations. This surge of power runs Gray's unique high frequency motor. The motor
39
functions with extreme efficiency because DC resistance is reduced to a minimum and wasteful
heat loss is practically non-existent in this system.

conversion tube 14 fires. Storage batteries 40 and 18 alternately recover the discharge energy

Treatise On Matter & Energy
Matter and Energy are one and the same…
Three Primary Particles
Atomic theory does not predict every reaction created by the various states of matter and of energy.
There are principles in Nature yet to be revealed. Something has been missing from the over-all
atomic picture of matter and energy. There are three primary particles that bring the elements into
existence. Just as the colors red, green and blue combine to give us the entire rainbow, the same
holds true of the three primary particles: protons, neutrons and electrons. The combination of these
three basic primary particles is what gives physical mass to an element and its' unique
characteristics. Its physical size, its mass, gives it a signature. This signature is given an
"elemental" name.
If a given element is not in a kinetic state then it is said to be at complete rest. It is cold. The
external forces acting upon it determine a particle's energy level. When struck by another particle,
it becomes kinetic. It is this kinetic activity that we call heat. This heat or kinetic energy level may
be raised by particles which impinge upon it that have higher kinetic energy levels. The "heat" of
an element may be lowered by other elements that impinge upon it that have lower kinetic energy
levels. This will cause the element to lose some of its heat. It is therefore "cooled." However, the
elements fundamental make up is not changed. An element may acquire the kinetic energy level of
visible light and still retain its fundamental properties. Its' signature is not changed.
Gamma Radiation
An atom that absorbs or expels neutron particles will ring like a bell. It emits gamma energy.
Whenever an atom gains or loses neutron energy it generates gamma energy. Gamma energy is a
disturbance phenomenon.
The only difference between natural and artificial gamma energy levels is their origins. Natural
gamma rays are emitted from the nucleus of a radioisotope. Artificial gamma energy is generated
outside the atom. Gamma rays and x-rays are often called photons. They have no mass and no
charge and may be considered to be energy disturbances in space.
Wavelength
The kinetic energy level of the radiating element determines the wavelength of energy. A low
kinetic level is represented by a long wavelength on the chart. A high kinetic level represents a
short wavelength on the chart. The "speed of light" is therefore a relative term. Energy is contingent
upon the matter that it impinges upon.
41
The x-rays begin at about the middle of the ultraviolet portion of the spectrum. These are called
soft x-rays. Those that extend into the lower portion of the gamma range are called hard x-rays.
Beyond this range, they are cosmic rays. These energy disturbances are called "photons." They are
not particles. They are disturbances caused by the kinetic states of particles in motion. This energy
spectrum proceeds in order of decreasing wavelength: sound, thermal, visible light, ultraviolet,
gamma, and the cosmic rays.
Pair Production
If a photon has sufficient energy, its' energy may be absorbed by atoms. The photon interacts with
electrons. This gives rise to a process called "pair production," in which the energy of the photon is
absorbed by the atom.
Photo Disintegration – Gamma Energy
Atoms can absorb high-energy x-ray photons, those with energies above 10 MeV (Million electron
Volts). Here, the electrons within atoms are raised to an excited state and instantaneously emit
high-energy gamma radiation. This makes the atom receptive to nuclear transformation. This
process is called "photo-disintegration."
1.02 MeV Energy Barrier
It has been calculated that when one electron pairs with another, 0.51 MeV of photon energy
results. Since two electrons are involved in a pair production event, a photon must have at least
1.02 MeV of energy to separate them. A photon with less than 1.02 MeV will not produce a pair
production event. Any energy in excess of 1.02 MeV is distributed equally between the two
electrons.
Electrical Energy – Electron Cloud
An atom is negatively ionized when it gains electrons. The atom is positively ionized when it loses
electrons. How can it be then that a helium particle expelled from radioactive decay is charged to
millions of volts positive? This observation can mean only one thing, that the electron shells are
really an abstract thought for mathematical calculations, when concretely the atom is a mixture of
electrons, neutrons and protons. The electron cloud consists of thousands of actual electrons. It
must be noted that an electron is approximately 1,830 times smaller than the mass of a proton. The
scientific community has ignored this little fact. As an example it will take around 1,830 electrons to
equal the mass of one proton in the hydrogen atom. So, it is said that there is one proton and one
electron in the hydrogen atom. What really should be said is that there is one proton and
approximately 1,830 electrons. However, it is much easier to state that there is one electron in the
hydrogen atom for simplicity. The mathematical electron shell theory need not be modified to fit
this reality. It is convenient to use the square root of the actual number of electrons that surround
each nucleus, for day to day chemical formulations.
When electrons or negative ions rush towards a positively charged atom in order to reach
equilibrium, it is said that an electric current is generated. This current is created by a particular
energy state called "voltage." If a metallic conductor has electrical current flowing in one direction
one end of the conductor has an excess of electrons. The opposite end has a deficit of electrons. All
"electric oscillations" are a result of this phenomenon. Battery power, direct current generators,
42
alternating current alternators, radio, microwaves, radar, electronic oscillators, metallic coils and
condensers, electron-tubes, ion-tubes and transistors, magnetrons, klystrons, lasers, masers and
molecular transitions; all carry these oscillations.
So then, what is electricity? This question has eluded the most able intellects throughout human
history. Could this be because science ignored the fact that the electron in an atom is actually
representing more than one thousand electrons, not just one? As observation shows, two states of
energy exist, one "negative" and the other "positive." How could it be that there are two states,
identical in their properties, opposite in character, both clinging to matter, both attracting and yet
completely neutralizing each other? From this analogy, it is safe to say that electron differences
create the effects of electricity.
Chemical Cohesion
Atoms are attracted by virtue of their differing kinetic phase relationships. Matter stays together
because of this principle. Atoms are continually expanding and contracting in unison with their
kinetic frequencies. Expanding particles are attracted to contracting ones and visa-versa.
"Gravitation" might turn out to be a grand display of this phenomenon. Atoms will repel atoms
only if they are in the state of coherent kinetic vibration. This occurs when atoms are vibrating in
phase with each other. Coherence will raise energy levels. Differing elements will form
"compounds" when their fundamental frequencies are in accord with each other. They must ring
harmoniously.
Ultra Chemistry
The first law of thermodynamics describes the principle of the conservation of energy. It states that
"energy is not created or destroyed; it merely changes form." The fact is that the creation or
destruction of energy is a result of matter being broken down or built up. They both go hand in
hand.
I strongly believe that the three primary particles were created at the beginning of the Universe and
that they can not be destroyed. However, the good news is that to serve our needs we can
artificially alter the elements, (cosmic soups) of these three particles, protons, neutrons and
electrons).
I will dare to further state that neutrons not only reside in the "nucleus," but they also exist
throughout the atom as a homogenous mix with the other primary particles. The most simplistic
expression of the Perreault Atom involves the bold statement that neutrons reside in balance with
the protons and electrons in the atoms. This concept applies throughout the entire Periodic Chart of
the Elements.
Isotopes
Three hydrogen elements (isotopes) are known to exist that are chemically similar but have
different weights. The three weigh differently due to neutron content. These are all hydrogen atoms.
However, it is the neutron count in the atomic shell that determines the isotope.
It is clearly established that triple weight hydrogen (tritium) decays to helium–3. In this particular
transformation a charged normal weight hydrogen element (protium) carries an excess electron in
43
its shell. It can react with tritium and emit an electron as a by-product of the reaction. At this
moment the electron is emitted at an accelerated rate and is seen as beta energy. This model will
not alter the way we view chemistry, however, it should change how nuclear changes are viewed.
Gravitation
Each individual atom is at the center of it's own universe and has a unique resonant frequency that
is representative of it's specific mass. Lithium for an example has a greater mass than the hydrogen
atom and will vibrate at a lower frequency in comparison. Therefore, we may say that it is caught
by earth's gravitational pull more readily and has more weight. This may help to explain how
physical objects are attracted to the Earth.
Stored Nuclear Energy
Have you ever wondered about spontaneous radioactive decay? Is there a super charged state of
matter? If an atom becomes ionized by either gaining or by losing electrons then why can there not
be a nuclear ionization too? I hypothesize that atoms do become ionized on the nuclear level by
gaining or losing neutrons. This may appear incidental but could be at the very heart of an ultrachemistry. I say that it is highly likely that this very phenomenon is behind natural spontaneous
radioactive decay and explains many unanswered questions in nuclear science.
Atoms can gain or expel neutron particles, some to a greater or lesser degree. Thorium can readily
be transformed into a fissile isotope of uranium by absorbing neutrons. It is a known fact that
thorium stores more energy than uranium, coal, oils and all other fuels combined. This represents a
tremendous amount of stored energy. Transformed thorium could be our most economic source of
energy. It is almost as abundant as the element lead.
It is only by passing from one state of equilibrium to another that matter can lose or gain energy,
consequently emitting radiation. The notion that radioactivity originated in a peculiar chemical
process was adopted and defended by Rutherford. "Radioactivity," says he, "is due to a succession
of chemical changes." Research has found that this "succession" is due to neutron transformation.
Nuclear Transformation
Elements that absorb neutrons and become unstable are called "radioisotopes." When an atom
absorbs neutrons it is seen as a "fusion" reaction. When an atom loses neutrons, it is seen as a
"fission" reaction. All elements can "transform" into a radioisotope and visa-versa. Radioactive
isotopes are unstable and will transform into stable elements. A radioactive isotope will eventually
revert back to the original element on it's own accord. Radioisotopes are nature's storehouses of
energy. We need not look any farther for our energy needs. Nature holds an inexhaustible supply.
Induced Radioactivity
When bismuth is exposed to radium, initially it becomes several hundred times more active than the
radium. This is due to emanation that clings to the surface of the bismuth. Emanation is widely
known as radon gas that will eventually decay to polonium. It releases more energy than any single
natural element ever discovered.
44
If beryllium is exposed to radium, neutrons are generated. These neutrons will have penetrating
power several times that of the most energetic gamma energies. This activity is due, not to an
alteration of the inactive matter itself, but to an admixture of a very small quantity of intensely
active matter. Is this the neutron? Could it be that a neutron is actually an inert monatomic gas?
This would certainly explain a few gaps in accepted atomic theory.
I have found that "radioactive" matter can be electronically synthesized. I find that radioactive
matter is simply in an atomically charged state. It has been recognized that when an atom gains or
loses electrons, it becomes "charged." However, I have taken this one step further by suggesting
that matter will also become super charged when it gains or loses neutrons. This super charge that
the atom acquires depends largely on its energy state and the type of radioactive gas that it reacts
with at the moment of contact.
Strange Nuclear Facts
Primary neutron particles and gamma energy levels are generated in nuclear transformations. This
results in the atom becoming super charged.
A "chain-reaction" in radioactive matter is due to the concentration of excess neutrons. The greater
the concentration of excess neutrons, the more accelerated the decay process becomes.
For example, if beryllium metal is added to radium metal, neutrons are expelled. These neutrons
can be used to cause secondary nuclear reactions in fissile material. The beryllium becomes the
nuclear trigger.
The energy released by the transformation of beryllium is estimated to be at around 50 MeV and
that of boron nearly as large. The excess neutrons generated can be used to super charge atoms
thus transforming them into radioisotopes.
Cold Fusion
Here is a "cold fusion" reaction to consider. Radon gas (a pure alpha emitter) generated from the
decay of radium is deposited onto a beryllium wire. Beryllium will react with an excited alpha
particle that will generate a "cold fusion" reaction without the need for excessive heat, as is the
case for "hot fusion." The reaction that results is: the 4Be9 + 2He4 → 6C12 + 0n1 (cold fusion)
mentioned above. This secondary neutron energy now can effect a reaction in nuclear fuels. Atoms
need not be fragmented in this reaction. Therefore, this reaction is "clean." There are other
examples but this formula will give you a general idea.
Alpha fusion is actually cold fusion. The end result generates neutrons from the production of
fusion by alpha particle collision. A simple equation where mass squared by it's speed equates to
temperature. This equation can be applied to a kinetically energetic alpha particle in my model.
Simply stated, a fusion reaction occurs when there is a temperature differential between the alpha
particle and the target that it impinges upon. It must also be noted that no new neutrons will result
because the reaction consumes what it releases. This is cold fusion.
The over all reaction is 'cold' in the general sense; in contrast to reactions that produce excess
residual heat. To site a cross correlation; a thermal heat pump will absorb hot particles right out of
the cold air of winter. The average temperature is cold. This analogy can be applied to the alpha
45
fusion reaction just sited. The particles involved are in the midst of relatively cool ones. The
average temperature is cold. This is my justification for dubbing it a "cold fusion" reaction. You
may still consider the reaction to be hot. In fact, it is in every real sense of the word. Even so, the
term 'cold fusion' is a non-mathematical one. We can use it to denote the difference between
reactions that result from a CERN particle reactor and those that are naturally directed by ultra
chemical reactions. As you can see, I do not buy into what the textbooks say about what
constitutes the nuclear verses chemical reaction. All reactions are chemical in my point of view.
The sited alpha reaction is an ultra extension of chemistry. The textbooks have over complicated
the "nuclear reaction" in my assessment and in doing so have fogged the truth in many instances.
So-called "cold fusion" researchers have overlooked the fact that the electrodes that they are using
contain traces of naturally occurring radioisotopes. Alpha particle emitters such as Pt190 & Pt192
are two examples. What is an alpha particle anyway? It is a super charged helium atom is it not?
Couldn’t you also say that it is the atomic ash of nuclear decay? That is exactly what researchers
are finding in their experimental cold fusion setups. Neutrons may also be generated as a result of a
cold fusion reaction but we might not always detect them. If the neutrons generated equal the
neutrons absorbed in the reaction there is nothing left to detect. In my opinion this is the signpost of
a clean nuclear reaction.

SECTION SUMMARY
Bombardment by alpha or beta particles does not "disintegrate" atoms. Rather, this bombardment
goes beyond normal chemical changes. Energy is transformed by neutron absorption or by neutron
emission.
What other discoveries await us? The future is indeed a glorious jewel to behold. Will we continue
to follow the path that leads us further away from this great storehouse of energy?

Alpha Fusion
The Department of Energy (DOE) has hindered the development of this technology by holding fast
to its' bogus restrictions on radioactive materials. I allege that they fear a miniature, clean atomic
power source that will deny the Department of Defense its supply of weapons-grade plutonium.
The DOE’s 45-year old H-bomb fusion program sucks up all government fusion funding. The
DOE’s fusion projects are located at the Princeton University Plasma Physics Lab. These projects
are top-secret, cold-war research projects using fusion for massive production of plutonium and
tritium for nuclear weapons.
The Princeton fusion reactor burns tritium, a radioactive fuel that produces deadly neutron
radiation, 80% of its total output of energy. This reactor, if used in conjunction with a breeder
reactor, is capable of "breeding" 100 times more plutonium than can be produced by a
conventional utility reactor. This is a fuel machine for nuclear weapons of destruction.
Congressman George Brown, Chairman of the Science, Space and Technology Committee, had
introduced a new bill, in early May of 1994. This bill would have allowed for clean, compact,
"neutron-less" fusion energy technologies that would compete with the DOE’s weapons program.
This bill was never passed!
In spite of resistance from the DOE against clean atomic reactions, the "Fusion Energy Research
and Development Act" (Brown's bill) would have created an Office for Alternative Fusion Energy
and a separate budget for Alternative Fusion Technologies.
A neutron free, atomic device could generate electricity at minimal cost. It would compete with any
petroleum-based fuels. This would mean no more oil spills, among many other benefits that I have
already outlined.
Dr. Bogdan Maglich was the driving force behind the neutron free technology and the alternative
fusion bill. He discovered the omega meson and other particles. In 1961, his omega meson
discovery won him and three associates, a citation from President John F. Kennedy.
Dr. Maglich invented the "Migma," a miniature reactor that demonstrated the principle of a nonradioactive nuclear reaction in a 6-cubic-inch volume. While most fusion reactions are radioactive,
Dr. Maglich’s reactor utilizes a design that is virtually non-radioactive. In 1984, Dr. Maglich
planned to demonstrate the magmas' energy capabilities. The tests were to be done in cooperation
with nuclear labs in Russia, under the State Department's "Conversion of Peaceful Nuclear
Research" program for Russian scientists.
47
Dr. Maglich had flown supporters with him to Washington to persuade the Congress to give the
project an affirmative vote. The DOE and the nuclear-industry lobbyist defeated the vote.
Humanity was on the brink of an energy technology that would have been compact, safe and
almost zero residues except for the electricity that it produced.
A space shuttle full of moon dust would contain enough helium–3 to meet all the energy needs of the
U.S. for an entire year. Dr. Maglich pointed out that nine grams of helium–3 are the equivalent of
1,000 barrels of crude oil. A Migma reactor could breed helium–3 from seawater. You do not need
to go to the moon.
The Bechtel Corporation in 1989 subcontracted with Dr. Maglich to produce an engineering design
of a clean nuclear reactor slated for a space power station. Dr. Maglich at the time was about
ready to publish his completed design. The Defense Department (DOD) at this point stepped in and
classified the plans before he could utter one word. DOD called his reactor "export controlled," a
classification forbidding any written or verbal presentation of this invention to anyone except for
government officials. This clearly violated an international agreement that forbids withholding
information on controlled nuclear reactions. The agency justified this classification by saying that
this type of research contains "ground-breaking work."
The bottom line is that neutron free atomic reactions do not generate weapons fuel. The DOE
would stand to lose its funding for nuclear weapons fuel if non-radioactive reactors were to be
commercialized. These groundbreaking designs would threaten all nuclear power plants.
In the final analysis, it is relatively simple. The alpha particle proves to be an effective energy
source in inducing fusion when combined with the right material. We can safely come to the
conclusion that through the proper conditions that the alpha particle can provide incredible amounts
of power for our use.
Energy Released by Alpha Fusion vs. Uranium Fission
"Alpha fusion" is an amazing process. Here is a comparison of the energy released per atom of
uranium that undergoes fission verses alpha fusion via neutron absorption.
U235 fission=161,000 kWh/kg (2x108 BTU/lb.)
vs.
Alpha fusion=1.68x1011 kWh/kg (2.6x1014 BTU/lb.)
The potential implication of this alpha fusion formula staggers the imagination. There is room for
unlimited innovation and creativity. Imagine having a device that could safely provide power for
several decades without recharging. Sounds almost like science fiction you say? It is a scientific
fact! Plutonium–238 is a non-fissile isotope that decays by alpha particle emission with essentially
zero associated gamma emissions. This type of plutonium spontaneously produces about one
kilowatt of energy for two kilograms of mass. This reaction will release alpha particles that can
48
only travel a short distance before they are stopped. This process decreases slowly over time. After
ten years the energy production is about 92 percent of the initial value. Even after 87 years the
material produces half as much energy as it did when was first started.
When positively charged helium atoms (alpha particles) collide with the electron cloud that
envelops another atom the positive charge is eventually canceled by these collisions. This is called
"absorption." Atoms ring like a bell when impinged upon by alpha particles. This ringing state
generates x-rays. The wavelength of this generated x-ray depends on the charge of the alpha
particle and what type of atom it hits. If the x-ray generated has an energy level that exceeds
10MeV, atoms absorb it. In this case, the neutrons are raised to an excited state. They may be
broken loose from the shells of an element or a neutron may be added to a shell. Gaining or losing
neutrons via this process may create isotopes. We can efficiently do this by exposing atoms to
alpha particles. This model clearly demonstrates that energy is transformed from one state to
another. It is neither created nor is it destroyed.
Generally, the formation of a chemical compound is accompanied by the release of a definite amount
of heat per unit mass of the substance formed. The burning of a fuel is a chemical reaction in which
oxygen is consumed. The quantity of heat released when a unit of fuel is burned with oxygen is
called the "heat of combustion." For the average coal, this value is from 7,000 to 8,000 calories per
gram or 12,000 to 14,000 BTUs per pound.
In contrast, radioisotopic transformation is accompanied by the release of enormous energy when
compared to conventional oxygen – electron oxidation. However, this does not justify the theory
advanced that neutrons occupy the center of atoms. It is my hypothesis that neutrons reside in the
orbital shells of elements and not within the nucleus. To envision this atomic structure one only has
to look at our own solar system to see this on a grand scale. Isotopic oxidation (neutron oxidation)
simply involves the neutrons. However, the energy involved is much greater because the neutrons
represent neutral charge and therefore the binding energy of the elemental shells is of a greater
magnitude.
When the unstable isotope of an element reverts back to its original stable state energy is released
in the transformation. Now, consider that incident electrons are impinging upon, for example, the
naturally occurring element U235. Assuming its absorption wavelength is correct, according to the
resonant frequency of this element, then excess energy can be released. This may be done with any
isotope. However, U235 will "self-fission" and under the right conditions, will not require any source
of energy other than what it emits. Excess energy is released only after enough neutrons are
captured to cause the transformation of the U235 atom. This is called the "break even" point,
beyond which excess energy is released to effect a "chain-reaction."
We are not limited to the U235 isotope to use as a fuel source. This element is used in a
commercial nuclear reactor because it undergoes self-fission and requires no additional catalyst in
order to "burn." The public does not generally know that the U238 in a commercial reactor does not
undergo fission. The only reason for its presence is to capture neutrons that transform it into
weapons grade plutonium (Pu239).
U238 will "fission" via fast neutrons generated by the alpha fusion process. However, there is one
small hitch to the alpha fusion process. A nuclear fusion fuel material is needed along with the
U238 alpha emitter. This material generates the required fast neutrons for this type of fission. All
that is needed is the right type of spark to speed up the decay rate. Radium or radiothorium could
49
also be used as the alpha source. Beryllium, boron, or carbon can be used as the fusion catalyst.
Any of the elements below periodic number fifteen feasibly could be utilized. However, these three
elements sited pack the most wallop. My process uses alpha fusion formulas that show the way to a
simple and economical method. No excess neutrons result to create a toxic waste problem. Fully
depleted U238 could be used that does not contain U235. Instead of making nuclear bullets, like the
ones used in the Gulf War, we could be using our reserves of depleted uranium as a beneficial fuel
source.
Plutonium is not feasible at this time, so plain old, natural, untreated uranium will also work. One
pound of "yellow-cake" (U3O8) is equivalent to 31 barrels of oil or 10 tons of coal. At the moment
yellow cake costs only $12.50 per pound.
Radon gas from naturally occurring radio emissive uranium or thorium ores can be directly
converted into electricity. The case surrounding these materials will provide adequate shielding.
These devices can be designed to be compact so that a lightweight unit could be built. It has been
estimated that for every pound of fuel, that, one kilowatt of power can be generated.
For political reasons' people, organizations and government agencies have strongly opposed the use
of all forms of nuclear energy. These people have made the general population paranoid of any and
all radioactive materials. Despite this strong opposition and threats against it's development, work
continues with the dream of harnessing transformations safely. The atom makes energy available to
us. I have proposed a radical atomic theory to explain the nuclear energy process. Conventional
atomic theory has many flaws. It does not completely explain the energy created by a nuclear
reaction. Does this mean that the nuclear reactor does not completely create energy? No matter
what theory you wish to use in explaining atomic power, the fact still remains that energy is
transformed.
James Chadwick discovered the neutron in February 1932. Later, further studies were made to
discover what effects would be produced by bombarding different materials with this new particle.
Researchers for the next several years bombarded every known element with neutrons and recorded
hundreds of new radioactive isotopes. My own research in this area has revealed many secrets of
the vast reservoirs of energy contained within the atom.
The First Neutron Initiator
The initiator for the first plutonium weapon was composed of polonium coated onto beryllium. The
polonium came from the Radium Chemical Company.
Electronically Activated Neutron Source
In the winter of 1996, I applied a 90,000-volt negative charge to a carbon rod. This carbon rod was
surrounded with radioactive ore in a closed container. Under these conditions, the radon gas
emitted from the ore was attracted and absorbed into the charged rod. This began my research into
electronically assisted atomic transformations.
"It must be first remarked that helium is a gas which accompanies all radioactive minerals. It was
from these bodies that it was first obtained – a catalyst with an interesting effect."
50
"This derivation from radium is a special helium since it appears to possess the property of
spontaneously vanishing. Its’ only resemblance to ordinary helium seems to consist of the
momentary presence of some spectral rays." * The Sea of Energy, 5th edition, pages 229-230.
Breeding U234
Mix a dilute solution of uranium nitrate and finely divided carbon together. The solution is boiled
for about half an hour. Radon is united with the carbon. After which the carbon is filtered out. To
unite the radon with the carbon, the two are exposed to a strong source of gamma radiation. This is
the catalyst that accelerates nuclear (ultra-chemical) reactions.
The reaction is as follows: C12 + Rn222 → U234 (uranium "X") + e↑
To concentrate the U234 the excess carbon can be removed by burning.
The results of my life-long research have opened a doorway that could lead to electronically
induced nuclear fusion. I originally named this process "alpha fission" to connote the electronically
induced atomic reaction. The term was chosen so as to cause the least adverse social reaction to
this discovery, due to the fact that the public has been duped into a state of paranoia by its global
governments. Later, this term was changed to alpha fusion, as this is a more accurate term than the
original chosen term.
Conventional nuclear reactors generate deadly toxic radioactive wastes as by-products. These
reactors are even more deadly than anyone realizes. Fuel rods in the reaction process are extremely
hot and are subjected to enormous internal pressure. You can not tell me that untold amounts of
deadly radon gas are not leaking into our environment. The fact of the matter is that a special
detector would be required to detect this leakage. Scintillation, Geiger and Alpha counters will not
detect this gas because the mass of the radon gas can not penetrate the sensors on these meters. We
must take a close look at clean nuclear processes before it is too late (if it isn't already).
With the advent of electronically triggered neutrons, a self-sustaining chain reaction can be
obtained and may be highly controlled. I find this especially true if thorium ore is used. Thorium
emits thoron (Rn220). Owing to its extremely short half-life, thoron by itself can not be used as a
source of strong radiation. However, in conjunction with its parent substance radiothorium, it can
indeed be used as a strong source of radioactivity.
Thoron has a short half-life of 54.5 seconds. On the other hand Radon–222 has a considerably long
half-life of 3.5 days making it a hazard. Thoron is safe and convenient to work with because there
are no long-lived products in its disintegration chain. Therefore, there is minimal danger of
permanent contamination. The parent substance, radiothorium, may be obtained from thorium
solutions in the manner described next.
Radiothorium is generally used as a parent source of thoron. Radiothorium has a conveniently long
half-life of nearly two years. Extractions of radiothorium can be obtained in a highly emanating
state. A small quantity of iron chloride is added to a thorium solution and precipitated as hydroxide
by ammonia or as oxalate by oxalic acid. The precipitate, the hydroxide or oxalate of iron, is
washed very carefully and dried at room temperature. This precipitate should have a high activity
rate. It will not lose more than 20% of its initial activity rate for many months. This radiothorium
51
preparation may be spread into a thin layer in a shallow brass tray placed at the bottom of a small
lead-shielded container. The active deposit thorium can be collected on a negatively charged wire,
insulated with respect to the container. The emanated thoron gas may also be absorbed into various
materials.
Many radioactive isotopes could be used to generate electrical power. However, the power behind
these isotopes is really with the radon gas. I have pointed this out many times in my writings, lectures
and articles. Simply by bombarding bismuth, we can create polonium. In United States Patent
2,728,867, it is stated that the available energy of a commercial nuclear fuel rod is around twenty
watts of power per gram. In comparison, polonium will generate one hundred and forty watts of
power per gram. This is seven times more energy than is available from the conventional fission
process!
The atomic ions emitted from radioactive isotopes can be directly converted to electrical power.
My conversion method shown in Section 5, Figure 4 can be used to convert this source of radiant
energy. Additional stages can be added for more power. The circuit shown gives a general idea of
how such an energy conversion device can function. By no means is this technology limited to this
one circuit or configuration.
Radon Fuel
My research has revealed that the energy devices of T. H. Moray, Alfred Hubbard, Reverend
Antonio d’Angelo, Joseph Papp, and others all contained a source of radon gas. They may or may
have not realized that this was what they were using as their fuel. We will never know this for sure.
However, what we do know for certain is that they all used radium in their energy devices. When
my prototype is ready to be demonstrated I too will show how radon can be used to generate
electricity. Demonstrations will have to be performed in private until my device obtains an
exemption from government restrictions.
The facts show beyond doubt that radon gas was the fuel source that has powdered many so-called
"free energy" devices. You can say that these devices ran on the energy of the cosmic rays. It is
these rays that created radioactive thorium and uranium that we find in the ground. High-energy
cosmic rays are really neutrons as Nikola Tesla had discovered. When a cosmic particle reacts with
either thorium or uranium a radioisotope is created. This is why you see a consistent percentage of
U235 all over the planet. This percentage represents an accumulation of comic ray bombardment
over the lifetime of our world. Nature offers us this fuel that can be used to obtain electrical power
with no moving parts and it is out there free for the taking. We do not have to split atoms to
harness this storehouse of energy. Nature has already safely done this for us.
In order for clean nuclear power generation to enter into public use, high-grade radioactive ores
must be secured without restrictions. Recent attempts to obtain these ores have been blocked by the
United States Government. Once these ores are obtained I will build a high wattage radiant energy
converter. Through my writings, lectures and published articles I have attempted to explain my
research. Over the years I have made my research available to the public and have asked for little
in return. I am asking you at this to help me to get this technology implemented, within the
constraints of the law. As a former United States President once stated: "Sometimes when we reach
for the stars, we fall short but we must press on."

The Truth about Nuclear Science
Present day alternative energy researchers find hope in that, one day, power will be obtained from
the energy that runs the Cosmos. In reality, this dream has only proved to be a lure to its followers,
beyond the limits of credibility. A quagmire of unsubstantiated hypotheses exists that are bottomless
and lack reality. The facts of many newly conceived energy concepts are wholly inadequate, lacking
justification, and incapable of throwing any light on the promise of inexpensive, abundant sources
of energy.
The Earth is indeed bathed in a sea of cosmic and solar energies. Can a device be built that can
transform these energies into usable power? I believe that T. H. Moray did build such a device.
This has inspired me to conduct my own research and to build my own prototypes. How the radiant
energy device really worked might shock a few people once the facts become realized.
Nature is my best teacher. Within one of her classrooms there are mineral samples that give out
pure electrical energy. They are the radioactive rocks. If radioactive matter from these rocks
derives its energy elsewhere, this must be of a type entirely different from any presently known. It is
capable of penetrating, without loss, hundreds of feet of solid rock.
Nikola Tesla’s investigations brought him to the conclusion that the Earth was being showered
with "tiny particles, each carrying so small a charge that we are justified in calling them neutrons."
He stated that "…they move with great velocity, exceeding that of light."
Dr. Thomas Moray called into existence the concept of unlimited radiant energy (the cosmic ray),
permeating all space and all matter, unimpeded. Such a view, at first glimpse, merges perfectly with
the continuous and permanent activity of radium extracted from certain rocks. This activity seems to
last for an indefinite time. There appears to be no rational reason why radioactivity, however
intense and powerful, should decay or diminish with the passage of time. Yet, radiant matter
(radioactivity) does decay. The demonstrated "half-life" values have proven that the stored energy within
radiant matter will eventually be depleted.
At some point in my own research, I had to ask myself three important questions:
1) Is there anything opposed, either to reason or to probability, to the view that the energy evolved
from radium is actually derived from an existing previously unsuspected internal process within the
atom?
2) Within the decay process does the element experience a transformation into other elements?
3) How is it that such enormous stores of energy in matter have remained so long unknown?
In my experience, a specimen of radium chloride is dissolved in water and the liquid is then
evaporated. Bringing this compound back to its dry state, as the result of this very simple operation,
53
the radium has lost the greater part of its radioactivity. The penetrating beta and gamma rays
completely disappear. The remaining non-penetrating alpha rays will be only one quarter as
powerful as they were initially. Then a strange thing happens. Left alone, the radium will
spontaneously recover its lost activity. Little by little, day by day, until at the end of a month, it
will be no less active than it was before it went into solution. This appears to be in direct conflict
with the zealous statement that "radioactivity of radium cannot be affected by any known process."
On studying this experiment carefully, we will find that when radium chloride is dissolved in water
something escapes into the air. This "something" is intensely radioactive. It diffuses in the air, but
will remain if contained within a gas-tight, closed vessel. In short, this "something" is a gas
possessing the property of radioactivity to a very intense degree. This gas was called "emanation"
in days of old. Today it is called RADON-222. It has a half-life of around 3.8 days. This radon
gas is highly radioactive. Thorium releases RADON-220 that is intensely radioactive and has a
half-life of around 55.6 seconds. Uranium emits RADON-219, the most intensely radioactive
substance, having a half-life of only 3.96 seconds.
Radon that has been separated from its parent source will rapidly decay. It is easy enough to
conclude from this experiment that energy is stored within the radium atom. This accounts for the
comparatively rapid decay of the activity of the generated radon gas. This gas is depleting its
internal store of energy so rapidly that it is soon exhausted. On the other hand how is the gradual
recovery of the radioactivity of the parent radium explained? This question is the golden key to
unlocking the secret of its power.
If it is true that energy comes from within, as large as the store of energy within the atom must be
to explain its radioactivity, yet it cannot be infinite. Therefore, it is expected that the activity will
slowly decay with the passing of time. Two radioactive bodies, one much more radioactive than the
other, are compared together. It is expected that the activity of the more powerful body will decay
faster than that of the other. A time will come for both of these substances, when the internal stores
of energy are exhausted, that the radioactivity will come to an end. Therefore, radium, a substance
containing the store of energy, can no longer be radium when the energy is lost. Coal is not coal
after it is burnt. When energy is obtained from matter, the matter changes. Before it can be restored
to its former state, the energy evolved must be put back. In no case, is it possible for matter to part
with its store of chemical energy and remain the same, otherwise perpetual motion could be easily
constructed.
We conclude that, if the energy is stored in the radium, it must be within the atom. Therefore, if
radium changes, it must be a change of the atom and of the element itself. This change would be its
ultra-chemical reaction. This is a more fundamental and deep-seated change than the normal
chemistry or any known kind of material change. Until the discovery of radioactivity, such changes
certainly had never been observed. If the energy of radium comes from within, then it must be
subjected to this ultra-chemistry that has eluded the chemist. This process of ultra-chemistry must
be understood as a special extension of chemistry. It is not some vaguely possible, transcendental
nuclear condition in the Sun and stars. Once this is understood, the answers will become as sure as
the nose on your face.
Imagine that a month has passed. The radium chloride is once again dissolved in water and
evaporated down to dryness exactly as before. Once more you will find in the process, that the
radium has lost the same large proportion of its radioactivity. Again it gains a new amount of radon
gas no less than before it went into solution. Repeat this experiment as often as you like. You will
find the result always the same. The radon that you separate from the radium is decaying away from
54
day to day. But the radium will also generate a spontaneous fresh new batch of radon. In order to
make sense of this, we have to answer these nagging questions; "from where does the energy of
radium come?" Does it come from nowhere, or is it being newly created out of nothing? This is a
view that is not acceptable for a plausible twenty-first-century physical science.
If our doctrines of energy are true, then there are only two possible answers to consider. Either the
energy must be derived from within the radium, or it must be supplied from elsewhere. This simple
narrowing down of all the possible answers may appear to you somewhat simplistic, but in reality,
it carries with it far more than appears on the surface. Being a minute property of the element,
radioactivity is therefore a property of the atom. If we say that the energy comes from within, this
means that there must exist an enormous and not previously suspected store of energy in matter, or
at least in radioactive matter.
Dr. Moray often advanced the theory that radium acts merely as a transforming mechanism, that it
converts the cosmic rays into electrical particles. He states that it retransmits energy in a form that
we recognize. Tesla also entertained this view. There are electrical transformers dotted all over our
country receiving transmitted but dangerous high-tension currents from the central power station.
These are "transformed" into comparatively safe, low-tension currents for your house. Are the atoms
of radium acting as the transformers of a mysterious and unknown source of external energy, first
receiving it and then delivering it up again in a form that can be recognized? It may be said that so
vague a view, postulating the existence of limitless and mysterious supplies of omnipresent energy,
cannot be directly disproved. One thing is for certain; this view provides a way of escape from
some of the more distasteful "logical" assertions, namely that all forms of energy are stored within
the atoms and molecules.
If radium owes its activity to an energy source outside itself, one has only to isolate it. We have
seen that to quench radioactivity, or to modify it in any way is one of the things mainstream science
cannot do.
An experiment has proven that even in its natural state in the mine, hundreds of feet deep down in
the Earth, pitchblende exhibits its normal radioactivity. Over 100 years ago, scientists concluded
that some sort of radiation must exist in the atmosphere. This conclusion arises because under all
circumstances, air is found to be have a slight positive concentration of ionized particles. The atoms
are minus an electron. This radiation is constantly much stronger at high altitudes than at the Earth’s
surface. This leads us to conclude that such radiation does not originate on this planet but rather
from somewhere in the outer regions of space. The fact that the intensity of this radiation does not
increase during daylight hours eliminates the sun as its source. Also, the intensity does not decrease
during the day or increase by night, therefore it cannot be a result of any particular group of stars.
Spontaneous Decay
Does not the "free emanating" state of a salt of radium teach anything about its decay mechanism?
Results obtained by Dr. Alois Gaschler and Otto Hahn in the 1920's proved conclusively that when
radium becomes finely divided, it most readily emits radon. This teaches us that radioactive change
is effected by confinement. How many scientists have paid attention to this all-important lesson? Is
it actually the true mechanism behind what is being called "fission?"
It is in my humble educated opinion that the seat of radioactivity is due to radon gas trapped within
the lattice of certain heavy metals. The best comparison that I can think of is coal and the stored
55
hydrogen gas within its lattice. Its stored hydrogen reserve reacts with oxygen transforming these
two gasses into H2O with the release of heat. The carbon contained in the coal also reacts with
oxygen when a high enough heat is generated from the hydrogen reaction and combustion occurs,
transforming the carbon and oxygen into CO2. Pretty much the same fundamental principle must
occur when radon gas is released from its heavy metal prison. The reactant in this later case is a
neutron from a previous radon gas emission. Radon reacts with a metal, losing a neutron to it.
When this occurs, the radon becomes highly unstable, emitting alpha particles and rapidly
transforming into stable lead. From this reaction it is clear that radon is not as inert as we were lead
to believe. In fact, I say that radon is at the very foundation of nuclear reactions.
Since the discovery of radium by Madame Curie, the fundamental method of its extraction has not
changed. The process utilizes the same methods that were instituted by Madame Curie and M.
Debierne. Radioactive ores are first treated with a warm solution of hydrochloric acid that
dissolves the metals. The addition of sulfuric acid precipitates the insoluble barite's that are always
present, carrying along with them all the radium as barium sulfate. It is necessary that barium is
present in the process. If the solution does not contain a sufficient quantity, then some barium has to
be added. It is said that the barium acts as a "carrier" to the radium. Can there be any other
explanation? It never made much sense to me why the radium would not precipitate out without the
barium. I simply could not accept the notion that it acted as the carrier. The answer to this problem
becomes relatively simple if you let Nature be your teacher. Forget what the textbooks tell you. We
know from her lessons that radiation can be induced into non-radioactive elements, do we not?
Could it be then, that something in the separated hydrochloric solution is transforming the barium
into what we call radium? Ala-ka-zam, low and behold, there sure is, it is called URANIUM–235.
Nu Radium Formula
Radium may be synthetically manufactured by fusing dry uranium nitrate mixed with about 0.5%
of dry barium nitrate. This is done in the heat of an electric arc. The mass is then treated with nitric
acid, water and sulfuric acid, successively. Radioactive barium sulfate, possessing all the physical
properties of the "element" discovered by Madame Curie, is obtained by this formula. This material
will emit ultra-violet rays, x-rays, excite phosphor screens and cause air to conduct electricity. The
chloride and the carbonate of radium may also be created by using uranium chloride or uranium
carbonate respectively and will have the same properties.
Uranium nitrate typically contains about 0.72 per cent U235. The barium reacts with the U235
creating pure radium. Take note here that this is an ultra-chemical reaction and that the barium is
not a carrier as has been believed. Best results are obtained when 0.72 per cent barium is added,
making it equal or less than the amount of U235 contained in the nitrate. If sulfuric acid is added
after the reaction takes place, then radium sulfate is precipitated. This material can now be filtered
for removal from the solution. The synthetically created radium radioisotope results when barium
reacts with RADON–219. It can not come into being otherwise. All other radioisotopes may be
called into existence by using U235 as the source of energy transformation. There are other
processes involved but this will be discussed in a future paper. Radioisotopes created by ultrachemical processes will have far reaching ramifications, if and when it is taken under the wing of
mainstream science. Radioisotopes could be made to order literally in a jar. These findings indicate
that all radioactive substances originate from the U235 atom. Now the question arises; where did
the U235 atom originate? I can only speculate at this point that it is created when a cosmic ray hits
a stable U238 atom head-on. If my conclusions turn out to be correct, then the energy stored in radiant
matter is a product of an external cosmic force and an internal force without contradiction.

Clean Nuclear Reactors
Mother Nature offers us a clean nuclear process to supply the World with energy. My reasoning is
based upon her process that leaves behind a clean, non-toxic ash. You have seen it in children's
balloons at birthday parties. The inert gas that I am referring to here is called "helium." When I
shine ultraviolet light onto a radioactive ore, the trapped helium gas will fluoresce a lime-green.
The only ash, left behind by Nature’s process, is what is seen under the ultraviolet lamp. There are
no deadly radio toxins like the ones found in the commercial reactor. It makes all the difference in
creation how the reaction is carried out and for what purpose. I will also tell you that eating
radium, like the women did who painted the glow-in-the-dark watch and clock dials will create
serious health problems. A little common sense goes a long way.
The commercial nuclear reactor releases excessive amounts of neutrons. This is a direct result of
the reaction of RADON–219 with the zircalloy fuel rod casing. It is highly likely that we can
design reactors that will release only pure electrical particles in place of the toxic radioisotopes
created by stray neutrons. Why not build clean reactors that do not generate excessive neutron
release? Maybe it is because this is not presently perceived by mainstream science? Knowing the
true facts makes it a relatively simple matter to acquire a cleaner burning reaction. The only major
modification in reactor design is to find a more suitable fuel rod casing. Eliminate the excess
neutrons and you will have a clean burn.
Are Neutrons What Really Cause Fission?
1. Alpha bombardment of any element with atomic numbers from 1 through 15 will generate a new
and stable element that will release one excess neutron from the reaction.
2. Neutron bombardment of any stable element from 16 and above will generate a new and
unstable element by capturing neutrons. One or more neutrons are released from the reaction.
The targeted element will gain the weight of the absorbed neutrons.
3. Neutron bombardment of an unstable element generates one helium–4 atom from each reaction.
The atomic weight of the targeted element looses the weight of one helium–4 atom as a result
of the reaction.
From these three facts, it is not too hard to figure out that the "moderator" in a commercial nuclear
reactor is actually what initially supplies the required neutrons for a "fission reaction." The excess
neutrons created are what react with a "fissile fuel" that creates a secondary reaction. The release of
thermal energy is a by-product. Scientists of yesteryear had these facts straight. Why are present
day nuclear theories so off course? It will only be when these facts resurface that advances will be
made in the way we obtain energy.
CONCLUSION
The devices that I have presented at public tests do not contain radioactive materials for obvious
reasons. However, the underlying principles have been adequately demonstrated. I have used starmode electrodes in the past to slowly discharge the capacitors in a prototype device. Advanced
discharge systems are now being utilized. In 1995 I discovered ion valve circuits that are now being
used in my most recent prototype. Even though these public tests have not contained radioactive
material, my research has been validated.
57
Funding has not permitted me to build a device that can power a home or electric car. However, my
prototypes have proven beyond doubt that with the proper funding this can be accomplished. It is
my hope, through the publication of my findings, that funding will be forthcoming. At this point in
time, it is most important to me that I receive credit for my for work and that my research
discoveries do not fall on deaf ears.
Public tests are performed as necessary to validate the technologies. These demonstrations are
deemed as research and development tests only. No power claims are expressed or implied.
For almost fifteen years now I have carried out many experiments. The fruits of this research are
ripening. Many fruits are within grasp but they are not yet quite ripe for the picking. The intent of
revealing my progress to the World is to insure that this work is not done in vain. Through my
writings I have attempted to explain the many facets of "radiant energy" and how it is possible to
draw useable power from it. If radiant energy can be given to the World then humankind will have
the potential to reach heights not yet dreamed or conceived. Today, I freely give to you the results
of my life's work. Together we can reclaim our independence!

HISTORICAL COMMENTARY
Tesla's last ten years of his life, 1933 - 1943, contrary to popular belief, were his most productive years in his
private laboratory located on Canadian soil. This was communicated to me through his last known living assistant,
Arthur H. Matthews, E.E., and B.Sc. before he passed away in 1986. He also revealed to me that special primary
batteries with replaceable zinc electrodes powered Tesla's electric car. This car also had a "fluid transmission" and
could travel at 90 miles per hour. The electric motor could run on the batteries for three hundred miles before you
had to pull over and attend to the batteries and then you were on your way for another three hundred miles.
Matthews claimed that there were enough spare parts in the trunk to run the car for one year! The performance of
this vehicle seems to be impossible. However, the characteristics of Tesla's unidirectional electrical current can
generate short duration high-energy that will generate high frequency oscillations when dumped through an
inductive coil. This unique principle makes possible many seemingly impossible innovations. It was this principle
that was at the very heart of Tesla's Magnifying Transmitter, also known as his "DC transformer" to his assistant
Arthur H. Matthews.

INVENTION AND DISCOVERY

Radiant Energy Power Generation
Nuclear
Science
has been
incorrect
since the
advent of
the Atomic
"chain
reaction"
It would be logical to expect that the discovery of fission was the
authoritative answer to nuclear science. It would be normal also
to expect that no single individual could really claim to be its
"inventor," since it is a natural physical process. The efforts of
hundreds of dedicated scientists were required to bring it into
existence. Countless descriptions on the origin of atomic decay
have been theorized. Since the advent of the atomic chain reaction
nuclear science has been written into scientific law. However, this
was based on atomic-bomb era mentality and is not correct
according to what the author of this book has unveiled.
Mr. Bruce A. Perreault knows the truth about nuclear reactions.
He is a catalyst who will ultimately lead humankind to the
successful development of radiant energy power generators.
By any normal standard this man is the discoverer of a revised
nuclear standard that promises to open new roads to invention
and discovery.
